Question Fuel line retainer clip?

I was wondering if anyone may have an old fuel filter laying around, seems that the P.O. or service tech tried to change the fuel filter at one time and didn't realize the grey plastic clip that releases the connector from the metal fuel line to fuel filter was suppose to be pressed to release, instead it appears they pulled on it and broke the clip on one side, rendering it unusable, thus I'm unable to remove the fuel filter from the line.
I've figured out how to get it to release, but my concern is that it may not seal or hold the fuel line correctly.
I'm enclosing a pic of the clip that I need, so if anyone may have one around I would greatly appreciate it if they could help out.
Thanks in advance.


Garry

I think you are limited to a bone yard for something like this.

Thanks JFP, but I've exhausted that route here locally, I don't have many options where I live.
Was hoping maybe someone might have an old fuel filter they had changed that they could be kind enough to remove the old clip.
Finding a wrecking yard in my area with a Boxster is like tiring to find a needle in a hay stack, I live in rural Oregon, the closest Porsche Dealer is Portland approx. 120mi. away.
