Default Broken throttle body clip

**Not sure if this should be here or electrical. Admins feel free to move if necessary.**

So I was going to clean my throttle body and as I pulled off the harness clipped into the bottom of it one of the clips (that holds it in) popped off!!! The bottom one is still intact so it clips in and I put a zip tie around it just for backup but I am worried that down the line the bottom on will pop off and leave me stranded somewhere. Does anyone know how, who, or where I can get a replacement, upgrade, or have it replaced?

This is not mine but you get the idea. This is from another member that basically did the same thing but broke both clips.

I broke mine when putting in the supercharger. I got a used plug from an old wiring harness and used the "pin" tool to pull and replace the pins into the newer plug. A JK tech guy helped me with the tool and it cost me pennies and a beer or two. I think you can order/buy a new plug from a dealer, not sure how much...The pin tool just looked like some real thin needle nose pliers, probably could buy something at a tool shop.

Def good news that its replaceable. Finding the plug and the tool does not seem too easy. I just sent an email to a few jy in the area. Thanks for the help. If anyone else has experience with this, tips are def needed and welcome.
