    It's not a roll pin. It's a solid steel pin that slides in and is held in place by the threaded cap. Available from PartsMike, R&P, etc. Iirc it's pretty hard too, almost like a bearing.

    Don't know the size offhand - but Parts Mike sells a small parts kit for the T-18 shift tops. That's what I used when I replaced a fork on my J20.

    IIRC it's a solid pin ... it has a part number - 912374, "Pin, floor gear shift lever fulcrum." Found no listing for that PN online.

    On my T18, I found an appropriate diameter drill bit, and cut the appropriate length off of the shank. Worked fine.

    I have been using a piece of steel rod from the hardware store for years. Drill bit sounds like a better idea.
