That's the one.  I just removed a few of those today.

I think that's a different clip than the one i need.   That clip is the same as the one on the passenger side vent.   The one i need doesnt have the tab to go in a second hole it probably would only have the screw hole.

Sorry about that...I just looked at mine & it's a very generic looking thick metal with a bow for the cable & a screw hole..

 i dont have a picture yet ,,it should be easy to make its just a flat square piece of metal with a hole thru the center,,of course it has the curved end to secure the cable,,its not a flimsy clip either its thick enough u wouldnt just bend it very easy,its a 1/2"wide and 3/4" long including the curved end to hold the cable

found this on ebay ,,it looks just like it except the one ear on it

this one on ebay shows the clip still attached,,it should give u an idea

Found my clip at local lawn mower repair store.   Throttle cable retaining clip.   Apparently Ma Mopar and Briggs & Stratton shop from the same parts bin...
