Collets for casette buffer assembly

I went away for a few months before finishing my MMU3 install on my new mk4. now coming back to it, if Prusa sent them with the rest of the HW, i cant find the plastic collets used in the casette buffer assembly, used in this step of the asembly guide. idc abt the cost at this point, I want to get this thing up and running before I need to leave again. 

Is there a link to buy the collets used in this assembly?

There is no printable file for them on the prusa website.  I have the two spares from an earlier part of the MMU assembly that seem to work, but that only enables 1 filament at a time, nullifying the effect of the MMU!!

RE:

Just remember to squish the fins as you insert - I ended up bending one outwards and snapping it! Luckily I had a spare!
