Where to get wastegate retaining clip?

Does anyone know the size of this clip or where I can get one? Mine popped off while driving the other day...

I went to the junk yard and pulled a few cruise control clips off other similar era GM's. Seems to work perfect.

Nice! I just yanked my cruise control out recently, I'll steal the clip from that

Not sure the size but most guys use an alligator clip. If you want stock though a hardware store has them they are like .15

x2, makes adjusting the rod easier and it comes in handy at other times too. Just don't forget to put it back on the car...

Actually, I made a neat little retainer for my roach clip.
I got a length of fine braided wire, [like picture hanger wire], from the hardware store. I crimped a wire terminal on 1 end. Then, I crimped the roach clip on the other end. I put the terminal end under a bolt and ......... I then had to buy a "portable" clip.

Stop at the hobby shop. RC car clips work great.

Just trade a Hippie a bag of doritos for one. I'm sure he'll be more than eager.

Any autoparts store that has a help section has these. Usually in an assortment.
