I bought a secondhand stand from the US. Cost me $15 and looked like new. Came with greased up pin. Wasn't worth the effort of fixing my rusty old multi wintered seized solid thing.

Had a small victory today, tried Oddjobs method of sawing down the length of the pin, combined with heat and lots of WD40 finely got it to move, so saving the cost of a new part and powdercoating. Will sleep well tonight!!

After selling my no 1 bike due to financial problems this is now my only bike so I am hoping (if money situation improves) to restore to a decent condition without too much expense. I think I have most of the parts I need, so am assembling it without restoration to make sure, maybe fit engine and see if it runs! I do need the little spring clip that holds the air filter in place, and one of the little brackets that mount the air filter box to the frame under the seat its the longer one of the two. Will have to be a rattle can paint job to save cash, luckily the frame and swing arm etc have been powder coated already. Might need a set of carbs also as they look pretty bad, wish me luck!
