Questions

Hey guys, got two questions:

1. I broke the little black tab that holds the cruise control line to the throttle cable, anyone know where I can get another one?

2. I switched my Bronc from a 2bb carb to a 4bb holley carb. I also installed a edelbrock intake. Problem is the stock bracket that holds the throttle cable and cruise control cables doesn't fit right on the intake holes. I've got it rigged on there with one bolt so it works but it loosens everytime i hit the throttle, obviously. anyone know of a bracket they make that'll work?

1. Salvage yards maybe.

2. Hate to answer the question with another question however... Is there enough length to the bolt you are using to run a nut onto the bolt as well as the throttle cable mount to act as a lock against the casting thereby eliminating the possibility for it to unscrew as the throttle is activated? If not would a longer bolt and a "stop nut" setup work?
