Hi everyone, I am a bit of a newbie at this but have been working on my 1983 tower of power for about a year now. So I apologize if I am not using the correct terminology. She's been running good except for not going into reverse. My problem now is that while trying to adjust the shifter cable the plastic "lock" broke on me. I attempted to epoxy the pieces back together but it would not hold. To describe it better, I have the shifter cable and the throttle cable both with the black adjuster that thread back and forth but then are locked in with the plastic piece I am looking for. I am trying to find out what it's called to even look for the lock. I hope someone has one or they are still available to buy. Thanks for your help.

Wrap a piece of romex wire around the clamp holding the cables into their "barrels", and twist it tight.
