need help with old CPU fan/heatsink

I'm fixing up an older system for a friend of mine. When I picked the case up to carry it to my room, I heard something loose inside the case. I opened the case and notice the connecters that were holding the fan/heatsink to the CPU, had proken (actually, one of the four had completely broken off and another is barely attached).

The CPU is a Socket 7 and I need to know if anyone could help me find a fan/heatsink replacement for it because i'm having a helluva time doing so.

Thanks.

The plastic lug on the socket broke off? Oh boy...only thing I can think of is to attach the original heatsink to the CPU with thermal epoxy. I don't know of any socket 7 heatsinks that has a clip that will catch all the lugs on the socket.
