I have not seen that many TQs but all the ones I have seen, used the same clip as shown.
But it sounds to me like you are after something called a Tinnerman nut: tinnerman nut - Google Search:
On the same page as the link posted, they are called "Push Nuts", not Tinnerman nuts. You push the choke rod through the choke plate, and to keep it from pulling back our, you put a push nut on the end of the choke rods sticking out of the back side of the choke plate. They push on in one direction, the leaves open up to let the rod through, but they don't come off because the leaves are closed down around the choke rod. First picture below is the new choke heater unit. The second picture below is a close up of the end of the choke rod, with the 90 degree bend in it (this is what goes through thole in the choke plate),and the push not goes on the end of the choke rod after it comes out of the choke plate to keep it from falling off.
Thanks for the link.
