I believe Doug Jennings still sells his CrMo version of the pins in =
stock dimensions. I bought a set last year.

FYI y'all:

After 15 years and roughly 17,000 miles, during a routine service (oil =
change and filter, grease etc) I was surprised to find the Fulcrum Pin =
bushings protruding from their mountings on my Mark 1A.

Thinking back, the Tiger had endured a very rough trip around the Cabot =
Trail during a period when some serious road construction maintenance =
was ongoing, resulting in some heavy duty pothole craters that gave the =
suspension a serious beating. Regardless, they had to be replaced, and =
knowing the Pin reputation for failure, I decided to replace them as =
well.

I couldn't find a source in North America, but was told to contact J.O. =
Engineering in the U.K., who produce them. I was surprised and impressed =
with the obvious quality of these Pins. (See Photo)

They are quite spendy, however, but from the look of them, worth the =
money, setting me back ~$150 CAD each, (roughly $110 USD) including =
shipping. (Quality has a price tag!)

They are no longer available from J.O.. They are now being sold by=20

the U.K

The service was extraordinary, arriving in Canada the next day via "UPS =
Expedited". Your mileage may vary.
