Lost one of the pins for the lift gate hatch. Besides building your own, are they available anywhere or is there something that works besides the a bolt and nut?
 
Do you mean the strut that holds the hatch up when it's open? I've lost the ball end of one of mine so the strut is not working anymore. I think they are available at hardware stores, maybe Lowes or Home Depot. I'll get around to fixing mine one day. I'm getting tired of propping it open with a pole.
 
Not the strut end but the pin that goes through the hinge at the top of the hatch. Any ideas?
 
A small nail might work as a temporary fix. All I can suggest is check at hardware stores, maybe farm supply stores. Or borrow a pin from another type of hinge. I'm pretty slack so I'd probably wind up using a nail as a permanant fix.:smokin:
