[sdiy] What is this part called?

[Chromatest J. Pantsmaker]

I'd make the panel over-sized by a quarter inch on all sides, then cut
a notch on the inside of the wood frame (just like a picture frame)
and then use screws.  I think you'll find that clips loosen up over
time.

I plan to cut a rectangle with rounded corners in the top, then I plan to use a router to put a decorative edge on the outside and inside edges of the top. I'm planning to mount the front panel from the back of this top piece so that it shows though the hole I cut out of the oak. I know that on something somewhere (maybe not music gear?) I've seen some small metal clips which have a small screw on one end, and on the other end, they are bent down so that they apply pressure to hold something in place. Similar, to the clips that you see holding bathroom mirrors in place. Anyone know what these are called or where I can get them?
