> Are there clips that I'm missing that are used to hold the power supply to the top inside of the base?

See this web page:

Click on the thumbnail photo of the power supply and you'll see it's sitting on the drawing of the supply mounting hardware.  The drawing shows the U-shaped metalwork to hold the supply in the pedestal, with a drawing of the clip.  I mounted my supply in the CCU.  The entry for Nov. 11 shows how I fabricated the metal mounting bracket to hold the supply inside the CCU, and it shows the supply mounted on that bracket.  (I made spares, I believe I sent them all to Wayne; he said he didn't have any spares, which is why I made some.)

The Nov. 14 entry describes how the identical clips were made for use inside the CCU, where clips identical to the ones you need serve an entirely different purpose.
