Default Steering Column Parts

Hi all

I own a 1978 Caprice wagon. The turn signal lever was just floating around. After taking it apart, I found the retaining parts for the lever were broken. It's pot metal, so no welding possible. I'd really like to replace the parts. They are located in the upper column housing. I have tried the JB weld trick, but it really didn't work. I have included photos of the parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated Perry

it doesn't have to come from the identical vehicle. 70 and 80 parts interchange is wide open. I've picked up a steering column, mirrors and seat belt parts for a 74 camaro from pnp cars from the 80's
