Exclamation Need help with throttle cable retaining clip!

So I am installing Wild 1 10" handlebars. Today I was working on replacing all cables, extending wires etc...
As I was pressing the clip that retains the idle cable inside the switch housing, the little rascal jumped and went bye bye. I can't fid it anywhere.
Dos anyone know where I can find such thing?

I am frustrated beyond belief, I thought extending wires and fishing thru the bars was going to be the hard part, sheesh...

If they are stock housings I'd check with the dealership.
You'll find it right after you get a replacement.

if it is steel use a magnet on a stick to "sweep" the floor.

they actually sell a magnet on wheels that you use- but I just have an old blown speaker and use that to find parts I drop.

'cause my eyes suck!

Your local dealer should be open today and have plenty on hand.

Ace Hardware has an amazing collection of odd stuff like that. Maybe a large auto parts store, as in carb linkage parts.
