    I have no idea where I got it from, nor why, nor what it was off but I found a gudeon pin 1" x 2.75" in my "waiting to be used box". It has a > 1/4" hole as Johan requires. It is beyond use as a square because I had used it for testing a tool post grinder.
    A look through Summit Racing's catalog will probably show sizes and engine model for various pins.
