It must be an exact size. Your dealership will have a zillion of those things laying around.

Once upon a time they were brass, then changed to plastic. Either will work. You probably can get a piece of brass rod in the correct diameter from a good hardware store. But I'm with Joe, the guy in the shop has a bunch of them in his junk drawer.
