I and my son have the Apeks Black Ice BCD. Its good BTW....except

On holiday in Bali, my son's BCD "lost" one of the bolt/nuts that connect the pocket to the main jacket. A simple bolt and locking nut - or so I thought.

Wrote to Apeks and they said try dealers (but not which dealers). I did that with some local ones but nothing doing

So any one know of where I get get such a simple bolt/nut? Or just stay with the zip ties!

Also seem to have this sourcing the first stage (Apeks DST)/tank o rings - I know what they are, the size, the reference number (AP1166), but no where to buy them in the UK? Quite a lot of EU supplier have them but don't ship to the UK
 
Take the other bolt and nut to a hardware shop and ask for same/similar in stainless steel.

The critical elements are the length and diameter of the bolt....they don't need to match side to side, its just to retain the pocket.
