Weld In T Handle Pull Pin Source

[Tupers]

Has anyone got any ideas on a UK source for the style of weld in pull pins as linked to bellow?
They'd be ideal for a project I'm working on at the moment but try as a might I can't find the weld in verity in any UK based stockists.

Why not ring/email them, I've found that many US companies are very flexible with these kind of things. They are small enough to go in a small box and cheap enough that 20% isn't going to make a huge difference to the price. They are also the sort of things that can turn a project from ok to fantastic.

My issue is I'm dreaming up projects where I could use them, they look cool.

ive always known them as 'pip pins' as used in racing / aeroplanes.

I had a dig through their site last night but there's noting quite like what I want. They may be a good fall back option though.

They seem like the same company, I'll shoot them a message and see if they stock them.

I'm not overly concerned about ordering from the USA I'd just rather go with the UK supplier if I can.

They seem to the called many things. So far I've found pop pins, pull pins, indexing pins, pull bolt, spring bolt, spring latch and probably a few others.
Still I guess it wouldn't be fun if it was simple.
