Hand brake cable pin

Hi folks,
I'm after the clevis pin from the end of the handbrake cable, part 1 in the diagram
Lings want £2.50 which I think is mental for a tiny metal pin. Can I get a generic jobby from somewhere else? I searched for clevis pins on eBay but they were a bit bigger than I needed, one was for a Massey ferguson tow hitch
Cheers,
Josh

£2.50 for the correct safety critical item, sounds fair.

Plus driving 20 odd miles to my local honda on a Saturday morning though?!
seems like a lot of hassle for a pin.

Surely some paperclips bent to shape should do it yeah
20 miles! This is why we can order parts online

Just went to see about ordering through ling's, minimum order of 2 pins at £2 odd each and they wanted £5.50 for carriage. Seems a bit steep imo so will phone my old work and see if they'll be extra nice and post me them out as a favour if I get them ordered in.
