Default need 1996 wheel bearing retainer key

Wheel Bearing Retainer Key was incorrectly installed (Firestone) and ended up being ground up in the hub. No strange sounds or any indication something wrong until i got into it a saw for myself. Im trying to replace that one little part and cannot for the life of me find another. Ford no longer makes this part as they updated the design of the hub since 1996 and can only buy the entire updated hub for about $800 ?? Desperate to find replacement but where? any ideas?
It looks like half of an aluminum washer with a tab at one end that keeps it locked into the assembly. anyone know where i can find Two of these Retainer Keys? Number 10 in the diagram below.
