Pop top roof clips

I am doing a few jobs for a neighbour on his T25 Devon conversion. I noticed some ugly looking pins
which hold the roof clips in place when roof is down. They are surely not original! Anyone got pics of the correct ones so I can make some up?
Thanks

Meggles!
this is a brilliant post for me!!
If I take some piccies of the clips on my camper, any change you could knock some up for my new viking?
I won't try and describe them now.....but they are adjustable.

Unfortunately I can't give you measurements because the van is with the welder at the moment

No! No! No! It's the pins which go through those catches that I am talking about. Hey, I'm good, but not that good!!

Send a pic and I'll see what I can do. I am not an engineer though so no promises.

I take it the one on the right is the correct pin. I think I can buy them locally. Probably in packs of twenty or so. I'll check SAP and let you know.
