Tony, 
If you are talking about the piece that the end of the cable housing
attaches to, I had to fabricate one along with the other parts that
complete the assembly.

If you have a Haynes Manual, there is a photo and accompanying drawing
on page 100 that shows what it looks like.  Let me know if this is what
you need.  I might be able to help.

Regards,
Joe
