Anyone have a source for suitably tiny snap-in pins?? Can't remember the name, but shaped about like an "R" and commonly used in big sizes on trailer hitches and such. I found one or two that looked perfect in the hardware from old carburetor overhaul kits, but have never found tiny ones available in quantity.
