Some people don't realize that you can find stuff locally. I know I've been guilty in the past.

Rob,
I will be facing this same issue soon. I have some loose strut rods and can take one plus a used pin and see if the hardware/industrial store suggestions are valid.

Measure the hole to get the correct roll pin diameter. A 1/8 diameter hole requires a 1/8 roll pin. A 1/8 roll pin will be slightly larger and get "squeezed" as it gets pressed into the hole preventing it from falling out.

A 1/8 roll pin will be slightly larger and get "squeezed" as it gets pressed into the hole preventing it from falling out. What I did to compress the roll pin into the hole of the strut was put it into a set of small vice grips and then ease it into the hole. Once in the hole you can drift it in using a small punch.
