Try the nearest lawnmower repair shop.

Get one the nearest size larger, and use a fine file to fit as needed. Lots of precision machine work involves hand fitting keys. Key material is very soft. If you cut too much, start over again. Don't want it too loose. Dodge should be able to order it.

Go to FAQ/DIY section and download parts manual and get the Dodge part number to take to dealer.
