Yes Spoox carry them but not cheap!
If you want a set to keep I think I have a nice CAD drawing done by Tony I can send if you want a local machine shop to rattle some off because the Haynes drawing is rubbish.

Worked for me too but would suggest a little longer at the end you hold so that it does not disappear

Have a look at the picture above, the bit that is 10mm could be a bit longer, it can get lost in the sprocket. Or have a small self tapper on the end to pull it out by or even a lip. As Luke says, they are not the best but with a mod on the end would be OK. Mine are made of alloy and I may attach something should I do the job again.

Prefer it to the Lamborghini, like Signor Gandini!

I've got a mate over here whose made up a few out of aluminium (to lessen the chance of an accidental disaster) and we came to the conclusion that we made the thick end about 10mm longer, then drilled them and fitted key rings into each.
With his own set, he ties a piece of bright ribbon between them so he can't lose one as easily and if for any reason they are left in the sprockets, they can easily be seen to prevent what has happened to a couple.... a quick flick of the switch followed by a clunk and tears.
