You'll find them on ebay nearly all the time, also listed as BA spanners.

1/4 in AF spanner also fits. May need to be ground down a bit on the outside because of tight space

I have actually done exactly as you suggest, but I think the spanner became soft after grinding it down. I accidentally put winning bid on ebay auction that Beezermacc Linked to :-)
