Steve, When I worked at Edson several years ago there was a few cable clamps left in inventory. You will need to call Edson direct on Tuesday to get one since this part has been discontinued for decades. Replace your cable at the same time because the reason the cable clamp broke was trying to hold a stiff rusty cable in place. If you don't replace the cable, you'll simply break the new clamp soon after installation. Edson also has a service bulletin on this control assembly (model 747 IIRC)they can send to you electronically. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 LF 35 Padanaram, MA Sent from my iPhone
