Default Seat Nut

As winter sets in I have had the seat and battery off for a month to trickle charge the battery and clean up the leather and chassis. As I was putting the solo seat back on, the seat nut dropped from the rear fender. It had broken in two.Can anyone tell me the part number for the seat nut? It's the piece which fits up under the rear fender with a retaining clip and you screw the mounting screw into it. I found the actual diagram from my sportster manual page 154 figure 2-131 item 6 but it doesn't give the part number. I found a Detachable Seat Hardware Kit part number 51676-97a but it's £14.
