I've stopped looking for decent 1/8" split pins now.. instead I made some proper solid pins from 3.2mm welding electrode cut 80mm long, and bent both ends over 90°.
No way these suckers will fall out.. 8)
Pics when my ISP's server is back up.

What does A2 & A4 grade mean in relation to steel fasteners etc??

'Mr Stainless' in Drummoyne lists on their website that they sell split pins in these grades:

Might be worth a look

re grade A2 and A4, we use grade 4 asian bolts at work and they are cheap rubbish...
Decent bolts start at Grade 5 and go up....8, 12, etc.
