Angry Air filter housing (air box)

Dang me! The first time I went to check on the condition of my 2012 Gen 2 xB air filter, 2 of the 3 spring clips holding that clam together snapped off the lower plastic housing under very little pressure. No way to fix it, other than a hack using 3" screws. Replacement air boxes are as rare as hen's teeth, in low-mile condition. Mine probably got brittle and fatigued driving in the heat on L.A. freeways for 10 years before it came my way. Looking for a Gen 2 air box, can anybody help?

I had to go to Jalopy Jungle and get one. It had 2 good clips/springs which was better than my 2 bad ones. They are definitely flimsy and I’m going to keep checking the bone yards for one in perfect shape.
