you can buy what's called a 'roll pin' from industrial supply shops. guesstimate the length you need, and tap it into place. it should be there for 20 years afterwords. or a little more.

Try your local hardware store. Ask to look at "Tension Pins"
They are nominally sized for fractional inch size holes. They are slightly larger to allow for a press fit. If you can't find one that will be a press fit in the hole you have, you can drill out slightly bigger to fit pin you choose.
