This can be a problem. We've made our own pins to the required size 
by getting silver steel centreless ground to the oversize diameter we 
require, then cutting the pins from the ground lengths of silver 
steel. But its a slow and costly process. Renner supplies bridge pins 
in several graduated diameters, but these pins do not have a very 
high standard of finish. We've been using them to date, but I'm 
looking for a better quality pin.
