I'd turn down a piece of 3/32" if you have a piece

Kaleb said it, turn it down to a .086" pin.

In most applications .004" won't make much if any difference.
I have some .084" pins that I would use, but they are difficult to find. The few I have came from a trade with a cutler.

Jantz Supply has the widest selection of nickel silver on stock I have seen in the U.S., but occasionally I find some different sizes from hobby stores in the UK.
