You are looking for a roll pin, rather than a split pin or a spring pin.
They are generic, should be widely available.
This is what Andover sells:

For years I used a ground down finishing nail...I like using roll pin drifts for knocking these in/out of fuel cap etc. It is to easy to mash them with standard drifts.

3 layers of electrical tape is a cheap insurance policy.
(Even for those with "hands of a surgeon")

Hi Tornado,I like using roll pin drifts for knocking these in/out of fuel cap etc. It is to easy to mash them with standard drifts.
Are Roll pin punches any different from ordinary pin punches?

As I understand it, a pin punch has a flat tip and are selected to match the same diameter as the pin, so they can drift the pin all the way out of its hole. The pin can be a solid type, not necessarily a roll pin. A roll pin punch has a short tip with a diameter that seats into the end of a roll pin. This helps prevent damage to/collapsing of the pin end. If you look closely at the image I posted, you can see the tip shape. The rest of the punch is that same diameter as the outside of the pin...so it can drift all the way through the hole.
