Help! I need to get a small (~4 mm diameter x 1 1/4 in. long) clevis pin to attach the boom to the mast on my 1996 Catalina Capri 16.5.

The pin slips through the boom fitting and the gooseneck (which is attached to the mast) and the boat will not sail without it, Unfortunately I have had no luck locally or online finding a clevis pin that small. Seems like 3/16 diameter is about as small as they have available.

First, can anyone confirm the manufacturer's dimensions on the pin?

Second, can anybody steer me to a supplier or have any loose pins to sell? I am not on the water, and it's July!

Ace Hardware should have a collection of clevis pins. 3/16" is a bit small for a 4 mm hole. Would you be able to use 1/4" (6.3 mm) after drilling out the holes? There should be plenty of metal left by enlarging the hole by just over 1 mm radius.
