Hi Dave, 

If you contact me off list, I may be able to help (ie: make up a new piece). 
Worth
speaking to Europa first in case they carry spares though in my experience
they dont seem to have much in stock. LAS are pretty good though and if these
are the same will probably be your best bet.

My Europa is one of the very early ones so im not familiar with this particular
pitot static head.

the cross wind when it leapt off the ground). I flew on home and managed to land
the aircraft using GPS ground speed.
