Replacement Tent clips

[Majortrauma]

I need a set of tent clips like this to do some McGyvering on a tent.
This company appears to be out of business or just no longer stocks them but I can not buy them from this company...it seems.
Would I be better off trying to buy some from a tent OEM or does anyone know where I can buy these?
Getting rid of the tent and buying another one are not an option. :)
PM'ing is ok but it'd be better if your response was available to everyone.
Thanks?

I can’t see them very well but they look like the Kelty clip connectors-

If they are the same I’d call Kelty at 866-349-7225 and order some.

THANKS animal. That's precisely what I'm looking for. When I tried searching kelty's site I couldn't find them but I'll call them.
Thanks for posting the number also.

I was scouring the internet a few months ago for the same thing and couldn't come up with anything. I found vinyl clips at my local hardware store that worked perfect.

Assuming the new clips are not split where the tent strap attaches, how are you going to install them?

I've replaced several of these clips on out Scout Troop's tents (Eureka Timberlines).

I cut off the old clip and using wire cutters cut the new clip on the short side of where the tent attachment loop goes. Insert the tent loop into the new clip. Plastic weld the new clip where it was cut using a soldering iron and a piece of the old clip, just like soldering.
Easier and stronger than cutting the strap and sewing it together again.
This repair has proven to be Scout proof.
