Hi George. I had no luck finding these for the TD so had a mate turn up a couple on a lathe in mild steel using the existing originals as a template. Cheers

I made mine from a similar sized machine screw. I ground the head down, cut to leingth and peened the end over with a hammer. It fits the part.
Be well,
