If you need them to be exactly alike, buy some cheap octal sockets,
crack them open, and take them out. This is especially true if you
need the ones with little tabs that lock them into the socket. Note
that the individual contacts for most sockets are designed to be
removable/insertable from the top in repair if you push the little
tab in.

Keystone Electronics has a wide variety of pins/sockets of various
diameters at http://www.keyelco.com/ which will be of most use if
you need PCB-mount stuff.
