Yes, they're very standard parts. After this instance, where I actually needed one with the longer shaft, I went and bought 4x of those on eBay, just to keep on hand in case the next thing I fix needs that.
In my experience the least-fun part of fixing things is the time and effort in between figuring out what part you need and tracking it down and getting it, so I don't mind buying stuff "just in case." And that goes 10x for tools, BTW.
For example, this thread, yesterday:
