Anyone know where I can get a couple of these? I've got two spare inflators I need to use that are both missing that pin and causing small leaks from the side.

Home Depot...buy a one meter stock length of either stainless steel or brass round rod...cut to length with Dremel cut-off wheel...bevel sharp edges...

Make enough to put some spares in your dive gear tool box...

If you're not going to use the pin...put one tight wrap of electrical tape around power inflator over pin holes...and use two tie wraps...one above the pin hole...and one below...

I use a tie-wrap gun...tie tension can be adjusted...breathing gas will not leak past the tie wraps...$20. from ULINE...the best twenty dollars you'll ever spend...the gun cuts the tie wrap off flush...no sharp ends to trim...

Good Luck...
