bloody seat locking pin

Been out for first proper blast with me mates and typically, have lost part of the bike, a seat locking pin......

Part no. is 52 53 7 651 289 and much to my shock they cost £5.70 each

Thing is, have spent the last hour looking but I cant find anybody in the uk who has them in stock.

James Sherlock is o/s and as for the rest either I cannot find the item on their website or they are not in uk.

Can anyone recommend a supplier as it looks ghastly without it on, and looks even worse held on with cable ties.

cheers all

had exactly the same problem myself the other day. not sure if i trust it with one bolt either.
I had a look on the probolt website and they seem to have a similar product under their quick release fastener section. haven't had a chance to measure up a BMW one to see if they're the same though:
