brake line clips

Does anyone have a photo or two showing the correct orientation of the 2 frame mounted brake line clips holding the brake line in place to the frame?
These 2 clips are between the master cylinder and the rear frame cross member.

Thanks in advance.

Trip.

I did not understand the "Ball Peen Hammer" reply.

Again, thanks for ...

M-38 Ross Steering Gear gasket

Anyone have a source for the above party?

I have been told to make it out of a file folder, but that is not my preferred method.

Evidently this gasket for the m38 is bigger.

Thank you,

My description of the part needed may have fallen short. I need the tool box cover that is spot welded to the floor pan. The hinged lid is spot welded to the cover. The cover also contains a scripted "JEEP" on the front.

Thank you for your reply.
