 Help with type of kitchen sink clip

Any help with this style of stainless steel kitchen sink clip would be appreciated. I bought the sink used and I can't find the type of clips that fit these brackets. Thanks!

any drop in stainless sink that i have have put in is so dependent on how well it sets in the opening.
sometimes they sit so flat that any clips need to be barely snug as the caulking around the rim does 95% of securing the sink.
sometimes one corner or one side sets up a little and the clips need to be tightened very securely to pull the higher portion flush with the countertop.

so, my point.

the clips are either very necessary or barely necessary.

if your sink sets nicely in the countertop then you can use 1 x 1 pieces of wood with a bent over wire pushed up thru a hole in the wood and hooked over that tab. seal the sink down with good latex caulk and twist the wire to secure in place.

if the sink does not set well then you will have to find the proper clips.
