90-02 e-brake Adjustable Tappet Needed

Anyone have one of these or the pin that goes in it? It’s the emergency brake adjustable tappet used to adjust the e-brake shoe on 98-02’s. I lost the pin. Does anyone have a picture what the pin looks like to see if it’s easy enough to make?

Easy to make, OEM pin is .197" dia. x .796" long. I've made them from 3/16 rod (.187") and rounded the ends.

Going back into it after the bearing replacement ?

yup. It was pretty grimy when I took out the axle rods but didn’t have the energy to clean up the parking brake. dust boots are shot too. I have no idea where that pin went. I figured I could make one. I was going to pull the other side out to see what it looked like tomorrow but figured I’d ask first. I’m going to use whatever screw driver is closest in diameter. Dremel and grinder ought to do it.
thanks…
