Default CV carb pump rod

My first time rebuilding the carb. Everything was going great. Cleaned up and putting it back together with new jets. I went to slide the pump rod into the rubber boot and it was gone.
I had taken great care with the loose parts. I just didnt realize that the pump rod was not attached. It slipped out of the assembly and I cant find it.
Anyone know where I can get a hold of one of those? Not really any cycle salvage yards around us here. Without that Im hosed and can kiss the all summer poker run party goodbye!

Default Made my own

I couldnt find the lost rod so I found some wire that was the same diameter. I placed it in the hole resting on the pump. Marked the length and bent it there. I then cut an extra long length to slip into the rod pivot. It was pretty simple I just needed to calm down and think it over.
