Dimensions of lynch pin for DIY scaffold tower

[shaz24]

I have a Presto DIY 5 scaffold tower model number 2400905

See photo below

The tower comes with 4 pipe tube lynch pins and I’ve lost one of them. Does anyone know what are the dimensions of these pins so I can source a replacement.

The local hardware store said I would need to source a replacement from specialist supplier. Unfortunately I don’t have measuring callipers so I don’t want to guess using a ruler then waste money on postage. I’ve also tried ChatGPT but that came to dead end.

An example of what the pin looks like is in the attached photo. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any drill bits?
Compare one of your pins with the shank of a drill bit, that will be close enough.

They look a lot like the rotor pins on an old Wolesley Merry Tiller.

A suitable bolt and nut would do the job.

Just use a bolt washer and nut
