While I can not help by supplying a pin I can point you to a less expensive
source in the US: http://www.mcmaster.com/ Go to that page and search for
"ring-grip pin" and from the choices presented then select "Ring-Grip
Push-Button Quick-Release Pin." Assuming your pip pin is 3/16 or 1/4 inch
diameter you can get one for less than US$20 so even with shipping charges
that should give you a landed cost of much less than 50.

Help!
The spring mechanism in one of my pip-pins for my Europa Classic tailplane
came apart when I was trying to pull the pin out. Although I've now got the
pin out it is clearly no use and needs replacing. New ones appear to be
massively expensive (>50GB pounds each).
Does anyone who has drilled out their torque tubes to take the new,
upgraded, larger diameter pip-pins have an old, smaller diameter one to
spare?
Yours hopefully
