Pins for Bimini?

[Big-G]

I need two pins for my Bimini top. These pins slide through holes on the gunnel bracket to secure the metal stays. On one end of the pin is a flat locking mechanism that swivels open or close. I know this is a crude description but the best that I can do. I've been to West Marine, hardware stores, and the Internet. No luck. I've jerry rigged using several types of pins with no success. Any suggestions?

The problem once solved is simple. Thanks smoke. I went to the Bimini manufacturer's site but never used the "Bimini pin" search. I'll be ordering the pins.

Good job once again Smoke.

Remember, if y'all are in south Georgia and need a bimini pin, it is customary to use a dry wall screw and bend it over with some channel locks.

I used the ends of two bungi cords - they bend easyly and were available - worked great but I had to take them off after returning to the dock because I also use the bungi as tie downs in my truck bed.
