The clip came off? Where did it go? Is it stuck in a push rod tube?
You could try taking another clip off and go to the NAPA store on rt 6 in Orleans and see if they have something that would work...
Call Bug City in CT and see if he will fed ex you a couple?

I’m in Harwich, but have nothing here.

Autozone is in Yarmouth, they might be able to get you something overnight. At least they’re open Sat+Sun.

Otherwise try a seller who will overnight something to you at the campground?

Can you fab something from a wire hitch pin or something?

Good luck

Glad I was able to help. Air cooled VWs are just so non existent in this area, and I was surprised that I was able to help someone in the immediate vicinity, nevermind someone who is visiting or on vacation 100 miles from home. It felt good, it reminded me of 30-40 years ago when I was getting into Bugs and trying to keep them drivable on a budget while I was in college. There was always someone out there willing to get you out of a jamb.

Best of luck on your return trip
