Help To Source/Make A Pin For A Tornado Grenade

[Auto Freak]

Hi there folks, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could purchase a pin for an impact Tornado grenade ? i have stupidly lost it and have tried various things like small rivets, pins, needles etc but nothing seems to be the right size. The reason that I need one is because I am selling it so do not want to fork out the £££ for the repair kit which is the only way that I can see me getting it. ANY help would be greatly appreciated

I think he need one go throught the top. Go to eBay you just need a one with same diameter

Exactly and as said one from a Fire Extinguisher might do it.

i made one for mine out of a large paperclip, not the massive oversize one as the diameter on of the metals to0 large.

I'll post some pictures when i get home

I had a couple of those BB holders shaped like a Grenade and made some out of very long/thin split Pins (Dime a dozen from local Chandler's Merchant) and the Ring off a Keyring.

You can get various sizes if you go to an Engineering Supplies place ;-)
iirc they go down to 1/32 inch or .8mm which is pretty feckin' skinny
