Other then that you can use a bolt to suit which in my view looks a bit out of place.

Yep, hollow end so it can be spread out and peened over. Hard to replicate exactly the way they did it in the factory though.

Hi, i went down this road too. My Pins were worn, the bracket on the door pillar a little worn too, even the pin through the roller inside the door. I went the easy way out and replaced all with 1/4 inch bolts. Long enough Bolts, Making The shank (unthreaded part) of the bolts to act as an oversize pin, then cutting of the excess length. Using a nut to retain the bolt in place. mmm yeah may be a little awkward looking at the door pillar, but inside the door you wont see.

Yea, 1 of my rollers hasn't been rolling for about 20 years by the look of it. Trying to track down a drivers side one...
I think the inner door checklink roller is hardened steel. haha i tried to drill it out to oversize but too hard.

I bought stainless clevis pins, cut to length and drilled hole for stainless split pin. Be very care of the pin/bolt length as it can interfer with the opening in the door and damage the opening in the door.
