Sorry to burst your balloon, but Porsche sells those, as does practically every P-car aftermarket supplier. Steel, with wedge shaped pins. 911 423 205 03, lists for about 20 bucks. The Cap'n

It is much better to make it yourself then to pay somebody for it.

I made one of these about 30 years ago, using a file and a hacksaw.. My wife and I were on vacation about 600 miles from home, cruising across central Florida after seeing Mickey Mouse. Then, all of a sudden at a stop light in some small town, the clutch on my 914 went out. I pushed the car to the side of the road, and looked under the car to easily see the problem- the broken plastic clutch cable pivot. Luckily, there was a hardware store near by. I bought a hack saw, some vice grip pliers, a file, and a "brass" pipe fitting of some sort. I cut and filed it until I got something that worked sufficently for us to drive the car the remainder of our vacation. It took about 2 hours, but finally it worked. JoeO

Polish that brass piece & spray it with clear lacquer to keep the shine. It will be a selling point when the time comes.
Manufacturing parts is fun. Good job.
I just made some intake gaskets for my FI engine.

When I broke a 9mm bolt for a front caliper I couldn't find one locally so I made one from a 10mm

i disagree. this is a "gotta have part because it's 11pm on saturday and the car absolutely has to get finished" fabricated solution. root, the man, milled it and finished the car.
