Suntour Cyclone Mark II Missing Pinch Bolt

Hi, all. Is someone able to share a detail picture of the components comprising the cable pinch bolt for a Suntour Cyclone Mark II rear derailleur. Mine appears to be missing (see picture). I regret to say that it's possible the components got tossed into the parts bin in a burst of cleaning (and ignorance). If I know what I'm looking for, I may be able to find them. If not, does anyone have any alternatives? The cable running dead through the center has me a bit lost. Thanks as always for your help.

Someone solved this with an Ikea spare. Not the prettiest, but it seems like it worked:

I fashioned a Sprint rd anchor bolt/nut using one from cheap Shimano fd. It was a little difficult to get the slack out of the cable, but it looked great. So, it can be done with a little creativity and a lot of fiddling.
