I've no disinfectant so if I just spit on them then wipe them on my sleeve they'll be clean enough won't they?

Aye, those pins sound just about right. You will need to check there's no rust on 'em - well, not too much - and you're quite right, you will have to sterilise them first. If you stick 'em in Mick's lager, then that should do the trick (although the beer may lose it's head, which is a bit of a shame). You might also find that some of the needles are a bit reluctant to go in - they may be a bit blunt - in which case you will need a hammer. If so, you might want to ask Mick if he will hold the needle in place while you hammer them in. After all, you don't want to hit your finger and thumb, do you? Also, it might hurt Mick a little bit for the first half dozen so he may want to bite on a bit of leather. If he takes his shoe off and then sticks it in his gob, it should be OK.
Let us know how you go on.
