Replacement heatsink hold-down pins?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I need replacement heatsink hold-down pins (spring loaded plastic pins) for the CPU heatsink on my A1176.  On the second CPU upgrade the one-way ends (under the logic board) snapped off two pins despite careful handling.

I don't want to buy a whole $100 dysfunctional mini on eBay just to get heatsink pins!  I came up empty with Digi-Key and other component suppliers.  Anyone have any ideas?
