IMG_2634.jpg The bracket that holds the pole up broke and the pin is missing. I was able to find a replacement bracket at Babbits's but apparently they don't make the pin anymore. Anyone know where I can find one? Used or new. I do have the little pin that holds the larger pin to the bracket, I just need the large pin.

Id say just find a stainless rod at a local metal shop/surplus and make it if the large pin is all ya need. Or just pick up a complete used one, I have a couple from past builds that I didnt use if need be.

The problem is that that pin has a smaller pin that holds it in the bracket. I would have to drill a hole through the pin. Drilling through stainless steel is not easy, let alone a small pin and I just don't have time to run around to metal and machine shops. I can't find a used one anywhere. Reached out to at least 6 different people/vendors on Craigslist and Ebay without any luck. If you could sell me one that would be awesome. I can buy the entire bracket with the pins if you don't want to seperate or the pin all by itself. I can just return the bracket to Babbits. The bracket alone was 75, so whatever you think is fair, plus shipping of course, I'm good with. Thanks for your help.
