As an ex apprentice engineer (many years ago now) I've made my own out of several things including old nails. I'm surprised that no enginering tool shop them by you don't sell . You could always buy some of that cheap mild metal strip from B+Q and make one up for time being.

Part no 6976 06 (crankshaft key) from your dealer should sort your problem

i would have a go at making one but after looking at the shape it seems hard as its not the half of moon one has anyone got a pic of one?????

Does it look like a hammer with one side of the head missing? Just take your time and have a go. Make it a little bigger to start with then file it to size.
