Should be a standard 1/4" dowel pin, either 11/16" long or 7/16" depending on
whether you have the Laycock or B&B clutch (according to my factory SPC for the
GT6 Mk 3).

Should work fine. Or you can buy dowel pins at almost any industrial supply
house, although probably not in 1/16" increments and probably not one at a time.

If it doesn't fit snugly, a little Loctite won't hurt. But it should be a .250"
pin in a .250" hole, which is a light press fit.
