I've been looking for some time to purchase dissection pins (for rats).....the ones I have are steel and 4.5cm long (and like a "T" shape)...anyone know where I can buy them from?

Southern Biological sell them. They cost $7.15/100 GST inc., although my catalogue is for 2004 so the price may have increased. The code number is G3.35. Southern Biological are at

Have you tried using string? Unless of course you're using a wax base.

Could you consider horseshoe nails, they are not T shaped but are stainless steel, longer and flat with a moderately wide head. These are available at Lead Light suppliers or where classes are taught, also at farriers.
