Hello,
does someone know, what is right google name for this part and if some replacement can be bough? or does someone of Europe some spare locks?

I have few MBs, where previous owners tried to remove videocard, without unlocking and this part is missing..

I know that there are types of this lock but i need these for Gigabyte MBs.. I dont care about color, different color would in opposite nice to highlight that element..

My first attempt on getting one of this is looking for E-recycler and ask them if they let you have the board if you find one with the connector in good shape.
Maybe you can buy online, but idk where.
On the worst case you can look on the chinese marketplaces for those USB to PCI-e 16x adapters just to get the connector.

Something like this?

EDIT1: Ah, you only want the locking mechanism rather than the whole slot 😊 😕 - other than from scrap items, could be more tricky

EDIT2: Never realised there were so many types 😲 https://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=274 but as they quote "Note: If the lock is not present, it will not affect the quality of the connection." I wouldn't bother TBH
