Default Looking for Small Part

I'm hoping that the collective knowledge here will help me with finding a small part for my Kestrel.

Pictures are here (sorry, I don't know how to make them hyperlinks):

It's a 1/4" by about 3/4" or so spring-steel clip, vaguely shaped like a flower vase, that retains the canopy lever. I've seen a similar part in a DG-500 to retain the circular end-piece on the spar pins.

Any ideas of where I might obtain such a part? I've tried Streifeneder, but he doesn't have it

Thanks, gents... Unfortunately, those are both too large. The lever is about 1/4" diameter.

But it gives me some info for doing a better search. To the net!

Found a supplier through eBay.

Thanks for the assistance. Knowing a name for the item helped me find it.
