Hobby Co did bring in some TRF511's last year but they were so pigging expensive they couldn't shift them! We had 3 off them on a deal price tail end of last year and sold all of them after the...

I'm not sure if they're the right size or not but CML do some which have small grooves in the centre of the pin with rubber O rings in the grooves, to hold the pin in place. I've not tried using them...
