Broken throttle body accelerator cable connector

So, instead of pushing the throttle cable back and then off, I tried to pop it off and broke the little tab. I've been trying to look for a replacement, but all I'm coming up with is an entire throttle body. I can get one on ebay for about $50. Not too bad, but would still like to fix it for much cheaper.

Anyone know if just the shaft with the connector is available and from where. It’s a ’02 F150 with a 5.4L.

Thanks

That's what I'm finding too. I'll try putting a nut and bolt through the broken plastic stud and see if that works. If not, I'll get a used one. Thanks
