I just measured one up, still on a replacement damper. A little tricky getting the thread count between the turrets on the nut, but it apears to be 5/8-14 BSF.
Suggest you put a query in the "Wanted" section. I would suspect that there should be somebody on here w/spares.
HTH, Ken

Damper pins ??? The shaft that goes into the front damper ? I have never been able to get the arms off!
