I need to replace a quarterlight catch pin/rivet but cannot find any supplies - the VW Beetle and campers ones are way too small although some claim they are good replacements?

It may be easier to just fit another quarterlight. These guys may well have one:

For over 30 years my quarterlight catch pin was actually a bolt until I found a decent second hand quarterlight and catch.

Yes, there must be plenty of old quarterlights knocking about. The catches do become brittle over time. I had one break on my car several years ago, but luckily had a spare quarterlight in the garage.
