I've come across this at work, but no one here has seen the like before.
It's a slotted spring pin, but it has the extras on the slot, that'll engage when the pin is pressed into the hole.
It's approx 18mm od.

An 18mm pin punch would be something to behold.

Thanks for the link, sharkey.

So, it looks like we need to find a toothed split spring pin... A ****in' big one.

Thanks, folks (can I say that?).

Fast haggis has it... the slots allow you to "flog" it out with big punch and a big hammer without it twisting.
