I just happen to have my lock apart to be rebuilt also!
The square pin or shaft you refer to is 5/16" square by about 1 3/4" long. It
extends from the barrel by exactly 1 7/16".
One end is drilled and tapped for a #10-32 screw, but you could use any
thread
and screw. A phillips head screw, double lockwasher and flat washer go into
that. The
square shaft fits into the lock mechanism and is held by a round pin about
1/16"
diameter.
As a matter of interest, without that square pin (or shaft), what has held your
lock
barrel in place?
Cheers, Fred
