You should have some digital calipers, (or borrow some) and measure the pin
on the other side. Hit the button between metric and inches and you may find
out which it is based on. Someone has to sell them.

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
