1000 Gear Selector Shaft Locating Pin Size

[pf1]

Does anyone know what size the 1000 triple selector shaft pin is?
It's the one which sits in a hole under the gearshaft bearing behind the clutch and is often missing.
Part number is 34110106 but at almost ten quid each including tax and post from Motalia I would prefer to find an alternative.

4 x 26 mm (OD x L)

Size is from a twin engine item but I suppose it should be the same for a triple (?)

Put a drill bit down the hole to find depth and OD.

and use a HSS drill bit cut to correct length as replacement pin.

I'm not at home at the moment so with Stephs info I can buy some from ebay, 5 dowel pins are ?1.50 including post.

Pat,

Do not use mild steel as an alternative.  Use something a bit harder, a piece of drill bit is ideal.

The drilling in the shaft has sharp edges that will dig into softer metal as the shaft shifts and rotates around in use.  The resulting burrs can make it almost impossible to remove the pin if needed.

Drill bit it is then Piet, thanks.
I constantly learn new things on this site, I would have thought that steel would be fine in that location but I don't have to dig damaged ones out for a living every day.

Ok hardened and ground steel pins just ordered in the nick of time  Thanks everybody.
