Spare part on Avid FR-5

So I had a small "incident" which resulted in a lot of damage to myself, but very little damage to the bike.. luckily.
However, on my front brake lever, there is a little screw that once you have micro-adjusted the cable then sort of holds that adjustment in place by screwing into the body of the lever - which I managed to snap.. so instead of being an "O" was more like a "U"?
I have explained that quite badly, but hopefully someone knows what I'm on about.
Two questions:
1. Is it really necessary, or is just a bit of extra security?
2. Where on earth could i find a replacement if I should replace it?!
Cheers,

pictures are better than words."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

You're absolutely right! I should have done this to start with:
Not really much like a screw as I had originally described..!0 -
ah the tension adjuster lock ring.
Pop lito your LBS they should have some junk ones in the bin that you should be able to get what you need off."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I was sure it would have some sort of fancy name!
Great idea though. Cheers!
Still got no idea how I only managed to break that.. I'll consider myself lucky.0
