Default Woodruff Key for Mercury Crankshaft

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.
