The Ford Barn

I’m in need of the woodruff key for the crankshaft gear for the Mercury crankshaft. Can someone give me the proper size I’m looking for. Is this a Ford part or something I can get locally ? I thought I had some but no. Not even in any of the spare crankshafts I have.
Thanks

It is the same as Ford. Not at the shop now so can't check size, but I'm pretty sure it is not a Ford specific item.

Hardware stores sometimes carry woodruff keys of many different sizes.

The listing on Van Pelt's site says 3/4 X 1/4.

Any good, old time hardware store will have one, it's not special to Ford.
