Does anyone know where to get the front clam pivot pins from? They look like clevis pins but with a hex bolt head.

i am guessing they are long shoulder bolts with the ends cut off - Demon tweaks might be able to help out

have yours gone a bit stiff to remove - try cleaning them up with some wet and dry and refit using plenty of grease

Mine have gone pretty rusty. In fact one was so corroded in place that hitting it with a hammer did not budge it, it just started to spread the end. Got it out in the end after soaking the whole thing in penetrating oil for a couple of days but the bolt/pin is not worth cleaning up.

I was hoping they where just an off the shelf part.
