Bit of a long shot. But does anyone has a accelerator cable to throttle body holder clip thing?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

That little tiny piece of what looks like a bent paperclip into a C shape?

[davieboy0312]

Yes sir that's the chap

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Let me check in my small box of 'very very small things that are easily lost so have a spare' might be able to help 

Get a large quantity of cash ready .... 

[davieboy0312]

Thanks mate. Got my fingers very crossed

[davieboy0312]

Did you have one in your extremely rare parts box mate

[Diamond Black Geezer]

No, sorry. I have a spare throttle body, which may have one on it's buried deep at the bottom of my box of big engine stuff. I'll have a look tonight.  If this is keeping the car off the road, then a paperclip will certainly do the job perfectly well for now. (Sounds like a joke but seriously, straighten it out, slide in, then twist box exposed ends together and that'll lock it fine) 

[davieboy0312]

Not desperate but needed eventually 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Will do my best. I'm sure I got one, because it was worth picking one up, as they're so easy to lose. 

[davieboy0312]

Yea I noticed there easy to lose. Put it away in a box labeled and it still ran away 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Umm.. [expecting them to be the same on every cable-throttled vauxhall in any scrappy]

So you happen to have any Mk II Cav or Astras or the odd Carlton kicking around you can get one off them... but other than that looks like it's different!

Tried gps and Vauxhall world parts but discontinued. Scrappies are dbw though about cavs but never seen one in breakers for years. Will destroy garage again see if I can locate the bugger

Ooooh, might have to keep it then when I find it! 

[davieboy0312]

Or price goes up

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Worry not, I'm not into profiteering, but it is always tricky to decide the value of anything when they're NLS or only obtainable specially at a massive price. (I'd say not so much in this case, as it's just a bit of bleedin wire, but with rear pins for the vented calipers, and so on...)
