Colin, I got these pins direct from Sports and Vintage, Shrewsbury. 01939 210 458. They supply nearly everything for our type of clutch - Are your fingers worn? Highlander.

S&V can also supply the corresponding thrust buttons for the pressure plate if yours are worn. I'd also recommend you fit MG J2 springs while your clutch is in pieces - also available from S&V. They are dimensionally identical to Minor/M Type springs but have a higher spring rate, so hold the clutch together harder!

Incidentalluy, I have a pressure plate that was never drilled for thrust butons and it has three pretty good dents in it from the pins! I suspect that the buttons were a very early mod.
