I've shown the sizes of the ball and spring, the spring requires a lot of force to compress it, so a biro spring wouldn't do.  A spring from inside a switch (kill switch ?) may fit OK.

I've now got my click back that I didn't realise was missing.  Thanks for the advice O wise ones.

After gunking off the head and further cleaning in the dishwasher,  I noticed the cam journals don't look too healthy.   There's quite a bit of swarf had scored the ally, probably the left overs from the vapour blasting years ago.
Q1.  is the head and rocker cover scrap?
Q2.  Can I just carry on using is as it is?
Q3.  Why didn't the oil filter clean all the crap out?
