Out with the old...

In with the new.

Quite a pain to remove the rusted hatch pin. Days in penetrant.... and it still broke...... about 5 times. In the end I had a hand full of chunks, and the shank was still in the mounting nut (that is very difficult to source), so..... I drilled through it and tapped new threads. A bit unorthodox, but it looks like it worked.

The new pins I bought are stainless steel, so they should hold up. I originally planned on making my own, but these are very nice, and at a good price too.
