Nope, they only have SAE unless I want to buy the clevis as well. I just need the pins so I don't want to spend $22 just to get a pin.

Get a longer 10mm bolt and cut the end off and drill a hole for the lock pin.

Yes, I thought of that, but I want the slim head of a clevis pin. If I had a lathe I would just cut down the shoulders on 3/8" pins to 10mm and cut the bolt head slimmer to match a clevis pin. HOWEVER I thought it would be a lot easier to buy metric clevis pins in a country that uses the METRIC SYSTEM!!!!
GO figure

My apologies...just called my guy for you and Fastenal carries almost everything in the world EXCEPT metric clevis pins...he tells me you wont find it unless from a manufacturer...
What is it from, or off of??

Yep....but when you only need 4 they just laugh at you....my point being that CANADA is a metric country, So why is it so hard to find a metric clevis pin!!Why are doors and windows still measured in FT./IN Why is plywood sold as 4' x 8' when it is not. Sorry...fourth beeer and pissed that I spent 11 years learning the imperial system only to have it change to metric in grade 12. Now I am just a maladjusted redneck with no F____ing clue what to buy..............SAE, METRIC. Are beer bottles metric or SAE??????

Haha, I get your point...and dont worry about the small quatitys there, I order 1s and 2s of stuff all the time...
Wait till you get into something that is ALL metric, then you will find out there is even defferent metric sizings for nuts bolts and fittings LOL

just an idea, you could just tap the clevis to the standard size of pin you have or can get. Be Happy.

Yes I thought of that too...But as it is on a sway bar with omni-directional clevis ends(metric). I didn't want to risk heating them up and losing all the factory lube. I am just trying to make quick release pins for my aftermarket sway bar(china)aka.Highlifter)that I can remove for rock climbing(rockymountains)or for trail riding (fast) with my buddies or (slow) with my wife.
