   I think I've seen something like that in the "specialty fasteners" section of Lowe's. If not there, then a Tractor Supply store, if you have one nearby, should have them. If all else fails, McMaster-Carr has every kind of pin you can imagine.

   I found mine at the local building supply outfit - in the fasteners section, in those stacked trays/boxes. I'm reasonably confident that I would find them at the local Aubuchon Hardware store also.

   The ones I chose are, I think, better than what John used: can't now recall what they are called, exactly, but they are 1/4 dia., have a small split ring at one end to grab hold of, and a little spring loaded ball bearing to keep it from falling out. They were available in several different lengths.

   They work great.
