The original cable clamp broke after only a couple of years since it was made of plastic, as most things are these days.

When I tightened the bolt which held the clamp onto the handle, I noticed that the outside legs of the clamp went beyond just contacting the handle as they were molded for and this would have caused premature failure again. I then placed a spacer on the bolt, between the clamp and the handle before tightening down the bolt. This caused the outside legs to contact the handle at the right place and did not cause the legs to spread out. By doing this, I decreased the tension on the outside legs and hopefully the clamp will last longer than the original. Otherwise, the part was exactly like the original and went right into place,
I further details are required to understand what I mean by this, I can make a diagram and upload it for clarity.
Thanks for sending the correct part, I will be a return customer.
