Throttle cable clip thing

Does anyone know where you can get (has a couple spare?) those clip things that fit round the plastic end of a throttle cable to hold the ball on the carb linkage in the hole in the plastic (DGAV carb on a ford manifold should it make a difference!?.....)

Or can you just still buy them from Ford?

The buggers dont supply them with a new throttle cable - i found that out the annoying way and spent a happy day rummaging through the bins in my garage (reminded me of my student days )
id try a scrapy - my local one let me have 2 of them and a few relays for nothing.

I got mine from the scrapyard. Older Fiestas are a good source.
