550 tank flap clip

Hi Guys

Does anyone know where I can find the wire spring clip that holds the tank filler flap down? I can't find one anywhere so don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place,  or wether they're just not available.

If not available,  does anyone have suggestions as to what i can do?

Thanks!

Oddjob:
Make one. You just need the right type of wire.

bbrian66:
Yes that did seem to be an option. Do you happen to know the dia of the wire i'd need?

Oddjob:
I’d say 1 or 1.5mm should do it. About the thickness of a spark plug helicoil if you have one. Might be able to unwind one of those, shape it and then anneal it to keep its shape.

DomP:
I could measure the thickness of one of mine for you but I'd guess 1-1.2mm
