tailgate side latch

On the side latch for the Subs, does anyone know what size c clip holds the support "strap" to it? My tailgate dropped open going down a rough dirt road a couple years ago and bent my left lock/ catch and the c clip is missing. I've had to try to open the groove so thee clip will stay in.
Thanks

Re: tailgate side latch

I had one of the same like the right side on the left but it keeps popping off. I tried to open up the groove to see if that would help but no good. The actual "pin" is a little bent from when the gate dropped so trying to tap that back without breaking the weld
