According to google it is probably known as a "stainless skew proof spring pin" and comes from anzor.com.au
there are two or three images on google of this style of pin but I dont see any UK stockists.

Maybe you are in Brisbane!!!

Chris, if you let us know the diameter of the pin I will go through our stocks and see if we have some. You say it is 29mm long but i cannot identify on length alone.

Anyone recognise these We used to get through half a dozen or more every day in my first job.

One of the unusual things about these pins is they shear across a diameter, and in some cases you use them in threes!

Hi Neil, Tirfor wire rope winches, some of the heavyer duty ones that were used on conveyor belt tenioners used to have three shear pins where the handle banjo type of connection was fitted to the shaft that operated the winch had three aluminium shear pins. Where I used to work a few years ago there was about 7 miles of 30" conveyors and a few of them were about a quarter to half of a mile long each. The Tirfor winches on them had a pulling power of about 4 Tons.

Regards Nick.

Indeed, we regularly sheared triple-pin ones on 3T winches hauling rhododendron roots out of the ground - some of the root plates covered an area the size of a car.
