You require a 4mm  diameter x 12mm long dowel pin either stainless steel or silver steel.

Plenty available on flea bay and a traditional hardware shop may have a selection. Some engineering companies may have them and people like Cromwell tools certainly will.

You'll be ok in the short term trippy, but buy a pack of 20+ for a couple of quid so you have spares

Engineering  suppliers or model engineering plies or if you know a engineer who could aquire a bit for you.  You just want some silver steel comes in 13 inch lengths if your really desperate get  drill bit the right size and cut the end that goes into drill chuck you will need a dremel tool or similar to cut it with or carefully with bench grinder
