Sorry to correct you, Terry, but it's SPIRE clip. There are many offers on ebay, but this ad has a good picture:-

As I said before, a hardware store might sell you just one for pennies, but take the old one in as they come in loads of different sizes.

Thanks, Bigron. I stand corrected.
There are Spire clips all over the Omega, glove box, undertray, etc. As said, I bought a box of assorted clips from Halfords years ago, and it comes in handy occasionally.

Ive done a few now, just tapped the hole for a small Stainless Steel stud bolt, a touch of Zinc Primer and wrapped some Amalgamating Tape tightly around the Cable where it needs to be clamped, jobs a good un.  :y

They are exceptionally handy those clips. Bike fairings and car bumpers especially :y
