Heater control cables

Does anybody know where I can get the little plastic pins that the cable ends hook onto, or how to rig something else up. Mine are broke and the cables wont stay on, Thanx

I've replaced that pin with a brass machine screw before. I drilled and tapped the nylon guide piece for the 1 thread in it ( its thin ) put it on the machine screw, put a dab of epoxy above and below, then cut the screws head end off to desired length. Keep in mind that where the plastic stem broke something caused it. There is likely a problem with that door of cable.

I might have some extras, I'll check.
I had the same issue- then I got lucky when I bought a set up from a 66- it had metal pins.

Thanks Redfish I would have done that but I got up this morning and went to the self serve wrecking yard and what do you now there was one in a valiant that was in perfect shape for $13.00, lucky day.
