Is there much hope of me finding such a clamp for sale?

Something like this?

That's exactly it!
Thanks a lot.

That's the usual design, but for a semi-permanent fix I can't see
anything wrong with using Sugru. I've also used hot-melt adhesive for
this sort of thing in the past, especially in comparatively cool regions.

I ordered some Sugru for the job initially, but as link to the real
thing was kindly offered, I'll now be using the Sugru to make a knob
for the kettle whistle.

These types of bush have 2 or 3 hole size variants (mainly 12mm, 12.7mm
and ?15mm main diameter with flat sides) and even more cable size
variants, including one for *flat* cable rather than round. They can be
bodged but the right size is easier.

Yes, a few more complications to deal with. Thanks for helping me
avoid tose pitfalls.
