The part you are referring to is often called a wave spring washer.  I see that Draganfly lists the part, but do not have them in stock.  Depending on the lever manufacturer, Amal, Bowden, or Douherty, you might be able to find something from your local hardware store that fits with perhaps a bit of modification.  You might also locate a suitable washer from a commercial hardware source or an online supplier.
