Richard,
Mea culpa. Wrong company. I had to go back and check my e-mails
for the right company. The manufacturer of the pins is Carr-Lane and
they are purchased through a company in Fort Worth called RMP
Industrial Supply. I purchased a number of spare pins from them back
in January. They were identical to the pieces provided by Europa.
The price was USD16.25 each. And this was considered a "custom" length.
I will forward a copy of the e-mail from RMP.
It is possible that I could get further reduced price if the order
were large enough.
I'll see if I can find the web page from which I located the
supplier. If I can, I'll pass it along as well.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
