Help: XT front Derailleur Parts

Posts: 6
Hoping that someone can offer some advice on this.
The XT front dérailleur that I have on my commuter bike has gone wonky. I've traced the problem to a missing screw or pin on the parallelogram that moves the dérailleur . I took it to a shop but the mechanic told me that parts to replace the missing pin or screw are not available. Seems a bit odd to me!
You can see in the dérailleur picture below (not mine but similar ) the two pins in the upper parallelogram - I'm missing the top one.
Any one know first if this is a screw or a pin and second if replacements are available? Thanks for any advice.
