Default Choke lever friction pad - Curvy?

Is there some kind of pad that adds a bit of friction to the choke lever to stop it pinging back to the off position

Its not listed as a separate part on the parts fiche

There's a spring in the switch gear, but mines got nothing else.

Somebody did mention it in a post, so I thought I'd ask

Yes, but not as a separate part I think. Best off buying a second hand switchgear.

Thanks Sid

Anyone got a knackered L/H switchgear, with the pad intact.

Or anyone got a picture of one?
