56 Wiper switch wrench?

Hi guys, After putting in and removing the wiper switch on my 56 using a small screwdriver and hammer I have pretty much ruined the flats on the little threaded retainer deally. I see in the manual that a special tool was made for engaging the threaded part that is hollow to go over the switch shaft. I looked a little but didn't find one so far on Mid Fifty (I see they do have the threaded dohicky). I went on ebay and saw a bunch of wiper switch tools for mostly Chevies. Do you guys know where to get one? Or has anyone made one out of a piece of pipe or tubing, or??? Thanks Greg.

Greg:

I made one out of a piece of brake tubing- took all of 5 minutes to grind out 2 notches. Not pretty but it worked.

Regards, Mark.

I found it on Mid Fifty- thanks. I have some other small stuff to order so I'll probably get one. I was thinking I could make one also but for price I'll prolly just order one.
