Les,
I know that sounds high, but, from what I've heard that's a fair price.
Everything is going up. :) A new one - not original is about $100+ so
I don't really think that's too bad of a price.

For starters you have the part # wrong, it's 120.1454. Push comes to
shove and you can't find anything, let me know. I've got some here and
I'll send you one. Don't know how many I have, or how many I need yet.
You might try faxing a picture of it to MR Gs - or going through his
catalog. I just skimmed through it and didn't see any. But they may
be able to identify it from a picture (ie. a fax of the page from the
parts manual).
Also you might try:
American Parts Depot
409 North Main St.
West Manchester, Oh. 45382
(937) 678-7249
They list 2 clips:
68-74 Push On Clip (1/4" I.D.) - as required 130 1724 $1.25
68-74 Push On Clip (3/16" I.D.) - as required 130 1302B $1.25
Neither of these is the right part number but they at the bottom of the
Heater and A/C section - no picture.
