I had to make one fore mine as the standard one is too short (if I remember correctly) I cut the head off a long M8 bolt and filed the end to a curve. and sanded to make it smooth.

top tip put the bolt in a Pillar drill if you have one if not mount an electric one in a vice and apply the file to the bolt while it turns this is much quicker and gives a more even finish

Good tip
i've never thought about mountin the drill in the vice ( don't have a piller drill) simple but effective

emery cloth and oil is best to finish it of to a mirror like finish and it needs to be nice and rounded to reduce wear
