Is this what you are looking for?

If you can't find what you want, try making one from Sugru sugru.com

thanks sunray but it is not quiet what i am looking for, it is a button type thing 16mm internal and about 19mm external

I assume you refer to the left thumb button - in which case Jonf's suggestion of Windcraft is correct... they list this part for several Yamaha models so just a case of finding somthing that fits! Alternatively a friendly turner could make one in metal very quickly on a lathe....
