Special tooling Michel?
If the binding pins work, I won't need to machine. We'll see?
I have found this supplier for pins with circlip grooves. The first column (5) shows a 35 overall length with a 31.7 distance to the clip groove:

I've asked for a price from Thomas Popper ooops, Potter.
Michel,
I'm hoping the binding pins work without modification.
Chris - I had been looking at this type of pin too.
Two of the originals on each latches are just like this with a groove and circlip.
I have access to a small lathe (not mine but a friends) so if an appropriate length can't be found I might be able to get some modified.
We'll see what the binder pins are like first.
I don't need to replace the short crimped one, just one of the two longer (circlip) pins.
Here's an imperial one:

'Might be a bit long, and a bit loose in the holes.
Ok, the binder pins have arrived.
See photo. I have replaced the missing long pin on the catch on the left.
Compare the original circlip pin (fitted to the catch on the right) with the binder pin and binder pin fastener/bolt.
The binder pin does the job, and it's solid metal all the way to the threaded part.
I chose 5mm x 30mm.
From this listing:

The only worry would be it unscrewing itself. So some good quality thread lock or maybe even epoxy might be a good idea?
In the case of a used catch, after the parts have been refurbished, obviously.
Looks good. So these are for the ones with the circlips and not the central one which seems to be riveted in on my catches.
Just some decent thread lock would do the job I would have thought.
