My local fastener wholesaler has a $25 minimum. Meaning they’ll sell me one 25c bolt for $25, or 100 25c bolts for $25. I think it has to do with accounting costs. To make a receipt, mail a bill, receive and deposit a check, they don’t make enough for 25c to cover those costs.

Op, in your need of one cotter pin, I agree with those saying to get an assortment. What I used to do is if I needed one of something like that, I’d buy 10. The idea being next time I’ll have it. Which would work if I were organized, I’m not. So that little baggie of 9 cotter pins is swimming somewhere in my garage. Do I spend and hour to maybe find it? No, I go buy 10 more. Next time, same drill. I gave up on that plan. Now If I need 1, I might buy 1 or 2.

Same here. Hence my 3 screen wheels.

Just pull one out of the base board. No one will ever notice

I recommend that you use stainless steel cotter pins. I live in Florida and hit quite a few trails but stay away from salt water. In the process of replacing the lower ball joints I noticed the tie rod and lower ball joint cotter pins were damn near rusted off.

Similar and related: does anyone know the P/N for the cotter pin that goes on the axle nut, except it locks a locker nut, not a castle? Like in this picture:

Just take it to a parts store and buy one over the counter. They'll sell you a little assortment with a few different sizes, you'll have extras for next time
