You can make your own out of 1/4" brake line, a long piece is just a few bucks at an auto parts store. The inside width of an AK receiver is 1.25". Measure the thickness of your lower rails and subtract that dimension from 1.25. The result is how long the tube needs to be. Cut long and file to length.

Or you could go here and purchase the threaded ones they sell?

Knall - I would guess you want to keep it simple and cheap. I used a roll pin from the local hardware store for less than 50 cents, with a longer button-head screw through it. I ground the end-nut (selector side) super thin, so it would fit behind the selector lever and not rub.

Brake line sounds like a good idea too.

Good Luck

Yep, I used a roll pin, had one laying around. I cut it a bit short and if I send the screws home it binds the action.
rather than refile the top rails or cut another roll pin longer to avoid the problem..... I just left the screws "loose" they aint gonna fall out I threaded the roll pin WITH the screw itself...... tight fit.
