Hi Bruce...

If you can find some real ones, that's better. but if you can't, here
are some links to pages at McMaster Carr that should fit the bill (to
match the original ones perfectly):

Clevis Pins (You will only need to grind a flat spot on the side of
the head and drill and tap a hole in the end for the cable
screw...note that I'm not sure if this is the right length or not):
http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/psearch.asp?FAM=Pins&FT_1611=67302&FT_1552=67466&FT_101=5458&FT_104=4054&FT_121=412&FT_518=52165&FT_1562=67368&session=Pins,104=4054,518=52165;1611=67302;121=412;1552=67466;101=5458;1562=67368

Lynch Pins (the cotter pin replacements that have the snap ring):
http://www.mcmaster.com/param/asp/psearch.asp?FAM=Pins&FT_104=4054&FT_518=52165&FT_1611=66918&session=Pins,104=4054,518=52165;1611=66918

If you need precise measurements to pick the right parts above, let me
know and I'll be glad to measure mine for you.

Good luck!
