Okay.
The rod clip I used is a Briggs & Stratton "retainer link", part number 690592. I purchased one from a local lawn equipment shop to see if it would work. It fits in the hole on the lever however the hole for the rod is just a hair to tight. I took a 1/8" drill bit and lightly drilled out the hole and the rod fit right in. There was plenty of plastic left and it didn't weaken it. Then the sides, where the rod locks into the clip after going into the hole, was just a hair to tight and I took a Dremel tool and lightly grinded just a tiny bit out and it fit. Took me about 3-4 minutes.
The first website shows a picture of the actual part and a higher price. The second one is where I ordered more parts from. Call to see if they are in stock before ordering.

The TM's show the part number for the clip as, 85.62680-0021. It looks like MAN makes the part, per the part number and ACRAR, out of Germany, sells them. They sale these clips per their website for 1,21 EUR and that state they ship world wide. They don't show a picture of the part so I'm not 100% sure the it is the exact same part, but they do call it a clip. But as I said they haven't returned any emails yet.

If anyone makes contact with them please let me know and I will do the same. Hopefully this is the correct part and we will be able to obtain some.
If they return my email and this turns out to be the correct part, I will be purchasing a large quantity and I'll sell them at cost plus shipping to anyone who wants them...not looking to make money off anyone here!
Well, there you go, that's all I know, which isn't much!
Tom.
