<div> Hmmm. Do you have to cut it to length in that position? Can you sit down? :-)<br>

It's probably a press fit, and will drive out. If the original
was 0.135" (maybe a long shot, but worth a check), they're
$4.18 per hundred from Schaff - #545. Or find a nail or
something close to the original, hammer the end slightly out
of round, and drive it into the hole. Bend over, and cut to
length. <br>
