A good machinist familiar with turning small parts could make you a replacement out of drill rod or 4140 rod. There are a couple home machinists here on the forum who are perfectionists [which lets me out] and could correct the deficiencies of the OEM pin.

I kind of like the oversize flange. Maybe someone [Tom?] has a Navy pin with the big flange that would be a drop-in fix.
