if you are, how many do you want ? and wots your address ?
Help!
I'm busy designing and building a gearchange extension for my Ford Type 9 gearbox.
All is going pretty well, but I've come up against a problem - I need a 5mm dia x 20mm long roll pin. This is the one that holds the gear selection
thingie onto the selection shaft.
I have the original, but need another. Can I find one in Ipswich? Can I b*ggery! The car spares places are no help, and the scrappies get offensive
if you ask them to strip a Sierra down for a single scrap of spring steel (few scrappies allow you to do the work yourself round here).
So, anyone know of a decent postal outfit that'll supply these (I don't mind buying 5 or 10), or does anyone have a spare they don't want?
cheers,
David
Have you tried agricultural and horticultural places?
I used to work in a place that was both.
You'll find that roll pins are used a lot more in those to areas than automotive.
Hope that's a help.

are you describing a "c lock pin" ?
if you are, how many do you want ? and wots your address ?
When I used to live in the UK we used RS components a lot, even for mechanical stuff like this.
Try, http://www.rswww.com
part number 374-058 IIRC
They aren't the cheapest, but you got the stuff next day almost without fail.
try the pins that vauhhall used in early brake calipers to hold the pins in
