Default bastard pack center pin

I got my S10 leaf springs for free. I need to get a center pin for them. I stopped at Autozone, Advance, O'reillys and a local auto parts store. None of them had the pin or even had a part number. I looked in Napa's site and saw these, http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...128_0006527419, is this what I want?

Advanced auto has centering pins. Youll want a 3/8" pin and then drill out the xj main center hole to 3/8"

I drilled my mount on the axle to fit the new head. drilling the xj main was a pain in the A$$. 15 dollar cobalt bit and a lot of cutting oil.

I used head bolts with the round hex head as center bolts. Never had an issue.

Either a grade 8 hex head or take a regular grade 8 bolt and chuck it in a drill and spin it against a grinding wheel to round it down to fit the perch.
