Yes I did try Mcmaster, Your right they do have tons of stuff. The pins that they have are not hardened or metric. Metric is not a big deal. The bushing can be drilled out to accept american. I even tried our local hardware store and the same story,,,, Not hardened
Thanks for your reply. hopefully something will come thru

Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by a "T" pin but if you are talking about an axle, Dreamworks carry them (but not metric sizes).

Is this what you are looking for:

I'm pretty sure you don't need hardened . The Robarts aren't .

Thanks for the replys guys. If they are not hardend, I think they will bend. I should of mention that I fly off a rough grass field. Todd from Dreamworks contacted me and told me about axles that might work So Thank you Steve Collins for your suggestion

what you can do is get a 6mm pin
and use a small wheel collard to hold it.

If it's just a hardened pin you need in meteric go to KBC tools and order in some metric drill rod, problably cost you about $3 for a polished 36" piece, I just ordered a whack of sizes and the stuff is beautiful.
