w25 hood spring pin replacement

I need to replace the spring pins for the W25 hood pins. What size(width/length) are they? Where can they be found?

Maybe this will help - Not sure where you can get them separately. You can see the center is "punched" to give added width and grip inside the hood pin.

Thank you for taking the time to post photos. I'm sure others will find it useful as well. The originals move/bend so easily. I am hoping the assortment pack that I purchased has the correct size.

I.ve had those pins slide off center resulting in a real p.i.a. to get the hood open. Don't remember what I used for glue but I would use something so they don't move. The pins were on the car for at least 10 years before this happened.
