Plastic mounting plate for 3.5" drive missing on my DS918+

Hello guys, I can't seem to find a set of the two plastic tabs that keeps a 3.5mm drive stable in the DS918+ drive.

just curious if there are any places to buy them, instead of ordering the whole drive assembly.

thanks

You can try this: https://www.ebay.com/i/353002909278?chn=ps

No idea if it will or worn't work but they seem like what you're looking for.

If you want the guarantee that it works, I would probably just order a new enclosure.

Here it is okay Ebay (I wouldn't order it from here as the price is expensive): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Synology-DISK-TRAY-TYPE-D8-drive-bay-panel-2-5-3-5-Bezel-panel-Black/303727176951?hash=item46b78cecf7:g:DBMAAOSwZbpfh6qB

Newegg (much better price): https://www.newegg.com/p/14P-000V-00180#

Any hardware stores nearby? You need something with 6-32 threads. Probably 1/2" in length oughta be about right. I'm thinking 3/8" length too short and 5/8" too long..
