I'm rebuilding the tilt trailer that came with m '85 p-19 and I'm having trouble finding a replacement for the pin that stops the trailer from tilting while underway. It's about 4" long and just under 1/2" in diameter although it's far from round at this point. Any ideas what this thing is called and/or where to get a replacement? It's been surprisingly difficult to find.

Thanks!
I don't know this for a fact, but it seems essentially like an extra long hitch pin for a trailer hitch. I did a quick search and it looks like you can buy 1/2" hitch pins in various lengths.

Yeah, that's the closest type thing I've been able to find so far, but most are too thick and not long enough. It seriously rattles in the 1/2 hole but won't fit in the 7/16 one in my sizer. Closest is 12mm but everything else on the trailer is imperial. I suppose it could really be 15/32" but that seems unlikely.
