9/16 inch clevis pins are a little uncommon, but they do exist. APS also
has them

Your other option is to drill out the fitting for the more common 5/8
inch, but getting the correct size pin would be preferable.

I have run into an unusual problem; I lost a clevis pin from the lower
shroud, ("someone" didn't spread the cotter pin apart enough), and the
pin vibrated out under sail; (that was pretty scary!); I thought
replacing the pin would be easy, but I can't seem to find the part
anywhere; the boat is a 1985 37 with the original rod rigging, (Navtec
I assume); measuring the pin from the other shroud I get metric
measurements at 1 1/2 MM diameter and 4 MM long; I have contacted
several sources; (Defender, Rig Rite, Hayn and Navtec); all of whom
tell me it shouldn't be metric but should be imperial measurement;
however I tried a 1/2 inch diameter pin in there and it is much too
small, and 5/8s is too large...I need help; can anyone steer me toward
a source for the pin? (PS there are no marine riggers or facilities
in our area, we don't even have a West Marine!);
Many thanks
