Where does one source the clips that hold the heater core / blower motor box closed?

I used zip ties. You have to drill small holes through the tabs, but a bag of zips is a lot cheaper.

Trouble with zip ties is they have a limited life span.
In my work I use 1,000's every year, I've tried many brands and colors.

None of them give me more than a few years before they let go.
