You should be able to make one out of a nail. All you need is a file and wire cutters. I know my LHS didnt carry them, so I made one.

LMAO, Yea believe it or not, the nails work better in a race situation they bend instead of breaking. The stock hinge pins on the RXB and RXT will snap. I think the stock pins are designed to break before the lower control arms do. However in a race, if you hit hard the bend allows you to finish, then repair. I use a standard framing nail, that is the same diameter as the stock hinge pin, cut it and file the ends square. :D
