Default Broke clip for cruise control cable at throttle body. Options??

I replaced the lower intake gaskets and the intake on my 2000 SS with the 3800 on the weekend. The job went really well with the exception that the clip for the cruise control that snaps over the stud on the throttle body broke during removal. I highly doubt it, but can it be bought separate or replaced? The dealer wants $115 CDN for the cable. Short of chasing one down used, what options do I have? Does the aftermarket have a cable? An ideas what years and cars the cable fits?

Thanks

I usually go to the junk yard for stuff like that. Probably set you back
$5-$10 at the junkyard, $115 at the dealer. That sounds like a part only dealers would sell. I just replaced the turn signal switches in a Lumina and a Monte Carlo. $250 at the dealer, $25 at the junkyard.

Thanks for the info. I ended up ordering one up from moradparts. It was cheaper including shipping than my local wrecker was.
