Pierburg accelerator linkage

[Zebedee]

Does anyone know how the ball and socket is supposed to stay connected?

At the moment it works for a couple pressues of the accelerator pedal then comes apart.
I assume that when i removed the weber carb to replace it with my rebuilt pierburg i broke something as i found a bent wire clip thingy and have no idea how it attaches back on.

it has a shaped retaining piece that fits over and around it.
someone will have a picture, i dont at the moment.

I've got a bent and broken bit of springy wire if thats it? Theres a bit inside the socket on the linkage too which i assume is the rest of the broken bit.
