Default B4 inner hinge pin length

Whilst racing at Taplow RC Club last week, my B4 took a slight knock (well I hit something head on!), as a result I had a broken front suspension arm and a bent inner hinge pin.

All quite simple to fix and get out for the next heat, you would think!

However I have the GHEA brass front bulkhead fitted to my B4 and upon closer inspection it seems the inner hinge pin supplied with the GHEA part is a couple of mm shorter than the standard replacement hinge pin from AE, has another else found this?

Because of this I wasn't able to refit the retaining screw that keeps the hinge pin in place - made for some nervy driving I can tell you!

Plus does anyone know when the spare GHEA hinge pins can be brought in the UK?
