Gear knob refitting

Today l fitted a gear knob from another members car(breaking) and l want to know if the metal clip is required to hold the knob in place? If so where can i get one or will a cable tie suffice?
Thanks in advance.

I removed mine to fit a new gear stick gaiter on and ended up putting a heavy duty cable tie on and it's not been a problem. Couldn't see anyway to re-use the original clip I took off and did wonder about using a suitable jubilee clip? At least it's easier to remove anytime. I will see about getting the right one before too long though.
