Jim,

I made one from an old screwdriver. Heated with a propane torch, it needed
two bends that I approximated from photos of the Triumph part. Note 'old'
screwdriver. I tried a newer one and when cherry red-hot, it snapped rather
than take a bend. Must be some alloy that becomes brittle when hot. The old
tool as malleable when hot.

Try that, or if you want to email me your address, you can have mine. I have
since switched to wires. That should tide you over until you get an
original.

Now where did I put that ... ?
