Default Spring Pin

Can someone give me a link to a website that I can order these damn things from. I can't seem to find them anywhere on the web and I don't have time to drive to a honda dealership to order the "bitch" in. I think the name bitch pin refers to getting it out, putting it in, and finding it...basically everything to do with this pin is a bitch (I know that sounded sexual to an extent). Thanks ahead of time.

Well I just ordered in prothane shift linkage bushings, new short shifter, and new shift linkages for my ls swapped ef hatch. Therefore I need the new pin to install the new linkages. Does anyone know if the honda dealerships usually keep these things in stock because I might be able to just send a friend to get one for me.

My friend told me that but I figured that the part would need to be oem honda or it would cause shifter slop. So any hardware store would probably have them...ie. lowes or home depot?

Well I think oem is 8mm since you use an 8mm punch to knock them out. One more question...when you install these since they are longer than oem I would have to grind them down a little, well the question is do I leave enough so I can mushroom the edges of the pin or do I grind flush and just slip that metal clip over it?

the spring pin should hold it pretty good on its own, so just grind it flush and then put the c clip over it.
