Roll pins do not fit....either too large or too small....
Cotter pins will not work because the push pin holes are all one side of the receiver and tube.
Yes, I could drill holes, but then I wouldn't post asking for push pins of the vintage Olympic after burners...thanks anyhow.....next!

Tnx Dave....I have read about these hammers elsewhere.....in my opinion, the stove is great, but the manufacturer has much to be desired....another case of, "if it ain't broke don't fix it"!....
Seems to me, if I can't find or fabricate a pin that can easily be inserted and removed, it would be easier to drill new additional holes in the receiver and burn tube then, as 'begreen' says, use SS cotter pins or better yet, SS R or hairpin locking cotter pins. I am still looking and thinking!
