Default Help PLEASE!!!

Hello guys I have been a long time lurker had more than my fair share of 3rd and 4th gen Fbodys 90% of them were all V6 models. I then bought a 2005 Pontiac GTO put a 408 and APS twin turbocharged it and life threw me a few curve ball which forced me to part it out and sell it.

I have since got things worked out and I just bought a 1999 Pontiac Trans Am for $6K. The interior of the car is pretty beat up and whoever owned the car before hacked up the factory radio harness and other electrical connections. Well upon me fixing the radio harness over the weekend I noticed that someone ZIP TIED the throttle cable to the gas pedal.

Does anyone know what part number I need for a clip or retain of some sort or a better fix to get rid of the zip ties?

I also need the bolt thread size and pitch of the bolt for the battery wedge thing or a part number so I can go buy one.

Here are the pics of what is in the car.

Thank you guys for any help you can give me.

Does someone have a picture of one so I can know what to look for or what it looks like?

If I buy a new cable from Lokar does it come with the retaining clip?

If you buy a new cable it will tell you whether it comes with the Clip or not. . Look on ebay it's going to be cheaper if you go through there. And if you buy the entire kit it will come with the clip but that's like $50 dollars or more.
