I might have missed it but a person with a lathe can make these in short order from std screws of all types.
For a shear pin to work properly and not shear prematurely, the cutting flanges have to be closely held and you should have hardened bushings in them that are at least harder than the base material of the pin. If there's an gap between the opposing flanges you'll shear a million pins and be constantly making them. If the hole is egged out then same things apply.
