Karl, I apologize if my humor was off mark. I mistakenly thought this was a request from a new member. I would still advise using a replacement pin and peening or bending it slightly to impose a little tension. The fear would be that you might lose the original if it works its way out. (just did that at the range on a grip screw) And you would not want to distort the original. You don't need to peen the pin like a rivet on the end. You can flatten the side to increase the width. Piano wire in the right diameter may also be fashioned into a workable pin.
