Hi guys
The broken one came from my engine parts supplier,don't know where he got it from
it,s not polite to ask.
This was one of the stamped steel rigs to keep the tappet from spinning while
I turn the adjusting screw with my 7/16" SNAP ON tappet wrench . The tab that engages
the hole in tappet snapped off.

Did the tab fall down into the tappet?
I've seen that type of wrench that uses dowels instead of bent tabs to engage the lifter, but they all seem to be problematic. I thought you were talking about this kind of tappet wrench:
