Where to buy a swim platform pin? *pic*

From an earlier post about platform rattle. Search can be your friend.

Took the brackets off my swim platform, welded up the holes, installed everything on the boat and drilled 5/16 holes through brackets & hangers so everything lined up. No more rattle. Used these pins.

I followed that thread as it was going on.

For purposes of my questions:
1.) Platform brackets attached to Platform - 1 hole each side
2.) Platform bracket hanger attached to the transom - 2 holes each side
3.) Platform bracket slides into platform bracket hangers and secured via pins

The one question I had about the solution - Did you weld up and re-drill just the holes on the Platform brackets or did you take the hangers off the boat too and weld/re-drill those?
Either way did you have to re-finish the metal with paint or what did you do there?
Thanx

Welded up the platform brackets only and painted with semi-gloss black. Original holes were 1/4" so 5/16" made sure all lined up.

Post contained a link to SS lock pins with an explination why they were 5/16 instead of 1/4. Searched platform+pins.
