Trying to identify a curved piece


Abraham Friedman
 

A friend asked me some questions about this MOC and I was able to answer most of them but I can't identify what the curved "bows" are that make up the circular body. It looks like they are clipped to what I'm guessing is rigid tubing and all the bows I know of don't have a clip and it looks like the "clip" is part of the piece. Maybe this is a new piece that I just haven't seen (I'm way behind in building newer sets).

Anybody know the piece and part number?

Thanks, that solves the mystery. I thought it was a single piece but it’s really a 4x1 curved plate with a technic 2x1 brick with 2 holes..

Appreciate the help. I was mystified.
