The ES59 elevator connection is an AVDEL Pip Pin. AVDEL is now part of Textron, however I believe they no longer manufacture the pins.
Fortunately they are now manufactured by another group in the UK: http://www.nordet.co.uk/pip_pin.htm The pins were originally developed for aviation use. A lot of helicopters have pip pins in their door hinges so the doors are readily removable.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] ES59 Elevator pin Does anyone know where I can get the kind of pin used in the ES59 Arrow elevator? It is a small pin with a locking mechanism consisting of two retractable balls.
