Thanks. I actually have a set on one bike. Not thrilled, the metal is so thin it has little rigidity where the bolts to attach to the frame mount.

If one surfaces, great. Looking on eBay, all the ones advertised as TA have the name molded into the plastic clip. Mine does not. It looks like there have been myriad knock-offs, like the one I am holding. Detailing on the plastic, in terms of markings, seems to vary rather a lot.
