Europa-List: Pitot Static - help needed.

Just after take off from the LAA rally today (Sunday) I noticed that the ASI 
wasn't
working (I know - how come I didn't notice it on the take off run, truth
is I'm still new to the aircraft and was concentrating on keeping straight in
the cross wind when it leapt off the ground). I flew on home and managed to land
the aircraft using GPS ground speed.

It seems that I may have broken off the black plastic static head which is now
missing.

Questions are :-

Where can I get a new one from?

Is the pitot static head a standard type item? 

I see that Light Aero Spares have a similar looking unit in their catalog item 
15144 shown here http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=V02FX7LLH  is 
this the one fitted?

Is it possible to get a new plastic bit or do I need to get a whole new unit 
from
Europa?

Does anyone know if there is a metal alternative to the plastic bit available?

Sorry there are so many questions, please be patient with a newbee.
