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