I have an older Oceanic Isla women's BC with the integrated weight pockets that are held in place by a plastic "pin" that you "lace" in. (I know it's not the newer QLR system) Somehow or other, the "pin" on one of my pouches has broken. (I think something heavy fell on it.)

Is there a way to find replacement parts? It looks like the pin itself is secured into the pulling handle. Any way to repair it?

Replacement pouch/pockets have only been found at LeisurePro, and they're currently out of stock.

Going diving in the Bahamas in August, so need this fixed ASAP. Or else, I'll have to resort to wearing a belt again. (prefer not to if I can help it .. I love my integrated system)
