I am sure you mean that little band of metal that broke when you twisted 
the piston trying to get it apart.
Don't ask me how I know this ;)
You can make that piece very easily, it is just a spacer.
Find a suitably thick cotter pin about 2.5 or 3" long, using the 
original loop on the pin, measure 1 inch and make another loop.
Twist the extra metal around so it stays together.
Or look for a thin metal band that you can squash that measures 1" from 
end to end after you squash it. Hardware store spacing collar or even a 
thin slice off a piece of tubing.

The split/roll pins are common hardware store items or you can use a cut 
off 4d finish nail as a pin.
