Default HDD attachement clips

I am planning to add another sata hdd this week, but I am faced with a problem. My Thermaltake Xaser super tower chassis uses plastic retainers or clips to attach the hdd inside the cage instead of the regular screw method. I lost the packets of clips that came with the case and need some ideas how best to mount the hdd.

If you look where the hdd is you will see that there are some big openings at the side of the hdd cage. Dunno what can be used to hold the hdd in place without the clips.

If you contact thermaltake, i'm sure they will send you a new pack of hard drive rails for free or at a very low cost.

If Tyreal's suggestion fails for whatever reason, I think your only other best bet would be to drill some holes, get some long 6/32 screws and use some thick nylon washers to fill in the gaps.

Thanks for the replies fellas, it turns out that my mom packed up the bag of pc accessories into a box that was out of sight. Found the hdd rails when I least expected to find them.

Archilochus did a good job modding his case. It's nothing extremely out of this world but mostly just improvements to the overall design.
