If you have a hanger you've got a pin. Not saying don't get the right one, but in the interim...

I used to be one of those anal fanatics that always hadda have the factory part. Still that way with original factory rifles, but for anything else, kfranz nailed it - an old fashioned coathanger. Snip to length with dykes, file ends smooth, viola" !!

If by any chance it is a little loose ( only had it happen once ) just moosh the pin a bit in your vise or vise grips.
