Only chance is to get one from a scrapper. I tried for a long time to source one in Poland, very hard to find.

Post by: Amateb8 on November 21, 2009, 07:05:31 PM: I would have thought that there would be loads of the stuff in Poland. Kindly let me know if you find one please. I can tell you right now, order one for me please if you find one in Poland. I checked out the specialist suppliers selling 500/126 parts in the "reputable companies" section but they not appear to sell them. I will look at the websites again, I may have missed it. I am sure that there are specialist suppliers in Poland as well but I can not seem to find one.

Many thanks!

From what I understand (mine was missing) it should have a hook on the end which you hook into the centre hole of the spare wheel to stop it from bouncing around.
