I'm finally changing the valve cover gasket on the passenger side (it's leaking badly at only 39K miles), and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can get some of these plastic clips, as I cut them, so I don't put any stress on the wiring harness. They go into the plastic valve cover:

I had some mild hopes that the esters in Red Line 5W-30 might somewhat condition that seal and slow the leak, but it had no effect, good or bad.
For now, I rigged something up:

But I'd like to get some new ones to have as a backup. The local dealership couldn't provide me with a part number and said I could only get it with a further $800 wiring harness. That is dumb.
@RamCares - would you be so kind as to chime in, please?
@Hemi395 - I went with the Akebono Ultra Performance, Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid, and kept the stock rotors. I bled the system and ABS, and now I have excellent brakes. They have good bite and more control, as the brake pedal has a more linear feel. My stock rotors were in perfect shape as I only went halfway through the factory pads. The only negative in all of this is that my driver-side rear rotor got a groove towards the outside edge during the brake burnishing process. I doubt it's a pebble or debris, and I think it's more like an imperfection in the brake pad. So much for super expensive "Made in USA" brake pads, lol.
