Good luck in finding an original one of these pieces. Some years back I was searching for one also and never did find one. However I took an M6 X 10mm bolt (hex head,10 atf)and brazed a spark plug screw on cap(for snap on type plug connectors) to the bolt head, then painted with silver cad/zinc which looked just as depicted in the parts manual and worked perfectly.
