Nice find Tom ! I agree with using a bushing rather than drilling for a larger pin.
I have an assortment of different size rivets and just knock the draw pin out and trim them to length.
You might want to check your local hardware store or Fastenal.

Great idea on using a rivet body as a bushing, thanks. I tracked down a clevis pin through Fastenal that should work. When they measured the original pin they said it’s an oddball size. It’s a smidge larger than 3/16”. I reached out to Wilson also, he’s looking for something in his pile of goodies. I would like to use something with an original look.
