I'm looking for a source of what I know as 'aircraft pins'. This is a pin with two ball detents sticking out at one end, which are held in place by a sprung central (inner) rod. When the inner rod is pushed axially against the spring it allows the balls to move and the pin can be withdrawn from whatever hole it is inserted into.
Is there another name for these, and if so what is it?
Obviously they would not be a desperately difficult thing to make, but I've always assumed that they are standards parts, so does anyone know where they can be purchased from in small numbers? Ideally, a UK source, but US is also 'doable'.
Thanks
Nick.
