Hi! Raimo.
I too broke a handle but managed to do a repair with redux, however I now
use TWO x 1/2" Avdel Pins. Both were bought from Europa prior to the demise.
They are a standard Aircraft pin and you should be able to get same from any
aircraft part supplier. Surprised there's not one on the Beech C45 ?
