Help finding replacement seat post part

I've had to remove my seats off the pedestals a few times for various projects. I found that the black plastic piece (photoed) have broken on both the driver and passenger pedestals. By 'broken' I mean it appears there were plastic tabs that held it in place so the seat swivel latch would align with the holes in the aluminum pedestal. Now the black plastic piece isn't being held in place to allow for the swivel latch to catch and my seats swivel freely and the latch doesn't catch.

I can't see to find replacements ANYWHERE on the web.

Thoughts?
