What is this piece!?! And how do I find it? PICS

I took off my old door lock cylinders last fall when tearing the car down for paint. I threw them out since they were shot and bought new ones today. It says complete kit, but I'm missing an important piece. The small teardrop piece of metal that connects to the back of the cylinder and then to the plastic rod clip. I can't find it at any auto parts store, anyone know where to buy these? The first pic is what came in the lock box, the second is the party I need. Thanks.
