One or a few discarded biggie wrist/ gudgeon pins could perhaps be around for a smallish fee?
Case hardened with nice wall thickness and weight, the ends should be pretty easy to grind and lap.
Their perimeter being hardened, ground and polished for starters, I guess the conrod/ piston sees the most wear?

Or is this just wishful thinking, again?

Well worth a try. Also prompts the thought that maybe truck engines have suitable donor pins for a small square, you do not always need a large one. In fact I think that I have one laying around somewhere, I'll have to look it out and see what I can do. Thanks for the idea.
