I'd be heading to the nearest U-Pull junkyard and looking under valve covers from DSM engines of same/similar vintage. Perhaps too, other (non-DSM) engines might use the same size/TP nut. Bonus points for going in with advance knowledge of possible donors - a DSM forum would indeed seem to be a good place for that knowledge.
