1993 Cherokee XJ Sport 4 door 4wd 4.0 straight 6 engine.

My door lock cylinder got the key slot jammed by broken piece of key. I took the lock cylinder out and was able to clear it, but lost the E clip and link with clip that ties the cylinder to the rod.
The link is a metal piece that is held to the lock cylinder by E clip at one end, and has the rod clip at the other end.

Crown is making replacement door lock link rod clips, and I was able to find the e clip at a hardware store. But several days of online searching have not shown any signs of that link piece.

I've checked for New lock cylinder assemblies that fit 1993, and none of them include the link. The factory diagrams list it as a distinct part, but dealerships list it as no longer made.

A visit to local Pick and Pull junkyard didn't yield anything - either locks are gone, or is wrong year & doesn't have the compatible link.

Does anyone know of a source for the link?
