Default Kickdown cable not attached at TB

Ok, so got the trans in, and remembered the kickdown cable is not attached through the little hole on the bracket at the TB... i can stick it in the hole but theres nothing to retain it there... Only thing remotely close to sounding like what i need, that i've found, is this:

Is this what I need? Thanks

This is what it says:

:::shrug:::

This kit consists of a brass bushing and hairpin clip to replace the factory plastic bushing at the throttle body on AOD-equipped 1987-93 5.0L Mustangs.

sounds like that is exactly what u need. I had the same problem and stuck the end through the hole and zip tied it till i put my other throttle body on.
