I have this clip (the new clip on the left side in the pic). After I took the pic I squeezed it down a bit and it seems like it will fit well on the rod. The older clip on the right is an original for a '70 choke I have....it's a smaller diameter wire....in the pic for comparison.
I have the exact clip in stock. https://www.stage1restoration.com/product/choke-clip-for-qj-carburetors/ Many other hard to find parts like this on my websites....Clips, Clamp & Brackets page.... https://www.stage1restoration.com/product-category/clips_clamps_brackets/ .
