2 9/16" Any parts store should have it. I think I got mine at Checker a couple years ago.

Got mine at Napa. The key is, it's a "rounded hex" so not just any 2-9/16" will work.

I was at an antique mall by my house yesterday and a guy has a bunch of tools in the corner down one of the rows and there was about 5-6 of them for $6-8 a piece used. I about bought all of them and tried to sell them, but I didn't. Also got mine at napa in 2008.
