Accelerator and Cruise control cable plastic clip

Can someone let me know from where I can buy that plastic clip that attaches to the driver side runner to plenum bolt which is sort of a pin which holds the accelerator and Cruise control cable?

Couldn't even find pictures of it.

Thanks

Re: Accelerator and Cruise control cable plastic clip

It's a spark plug wire separator actually. GM used valve cover bolts with the same pin on various applications. I'd probably start hunting in the junkyards, though that probably doesn't help much being outside the US. Next would be the Dorman "HELP!" catalog. A person might get lucky digging in the GM parts catalog, but if the original part number is listed, it's surely discontinued or superseded by now.

The upside is that it's really unnecessary. Aside from occupying the pin, it doesn't do much. The cables don't mind in the slightest when it's missing.

Is very hard to find even p/n on the catalog doesn't show. Junkyards are non existent to me here. Will keep on looking. Thanks

The original part number is 8917256. Discontinued.

Dorman has a two hole and four hole retainer that sort of look the part.
I know I have a few in the junk bin that don't stay clipped closed under pressure. Have yet to find a source for a new exact replacement.
