Default Hood cable broke/need a part

I posted a couple of weeks back about my broken hood cable// made the tool out of 1/4" round rod and it worked great once I located the lever/ made a set of the "emergency" releases ( thanks forum ). What I found is the lever that releases the hood pin has a clip on the end that the cable end hooks to and the left one broke---where can I source that part or do I need to go to a salvage yard??

12338122 GM is what you likely need and it is discontinued BUT there should be dealers with the part still on the shelf or eBay could be your friend. It's used on many GM applications so if you're the "scrounging type" visit a local salvage yard. Google the part number for an image.
