Stanchion base securing pin

[Equinox]

Due to the fact my stanchions have been seized in their bases for the past three years I thought it was about time I tackled this task. Armed Loctite Freeze & Release and my trusty hammer I was surprised at just how easily I was able to gently wallop the securing pins out. Unfortunately two of the pins disintegrated. Where is the best place to find replacement pins as having scoured the swindlery websites I haven't seen any types that match mine. The nearest things I can see are clevis pins or split pins, but the pins I'm seeking to replace are flush with the outer diameter of the stanchion base with no protruding parts whatsoever at the ends.

Thanks in advance.

I think you will find that they are called "Roll Pins" available from garages .

You should replace them with stainless split pins which you can easily remove in the future. Or as suggested get roll pins or preferably SPIROL pins(these have a 2½ wrap round & are much stronger) - again in stainless steel.
