The pin in your photo should be sticking up a small amount and it fits into a corresponding hole or slot in the front bushing to prevent it from rotating in the case. It can be carefully drilled out and replaced with a short length of drill bit, nail, or whatever. There is no real load on it so a piece of coat hanger would probably work to. If you can’t drill it out, another hole can be drilled in line with the original as long as the bushing has a slot for the pin. Epoxy will hold the new one in place.

When assembly time comes, make sure the new pin is properly aligned with the hole or slot in the bushing or the bushing will be damaged by the pin while tightening the screws down.
