Default L'Hotelier Fitting Safety Pins

Those bobby pins are used extensively on my Stemme and I lost two that
fell out of their retaining strings during taxiing operations leaving me
with only one spare. A quick search found 1.2 mm hitch pins at WalMart
(of all places). I got a bag of 50 pins for under $8. Here's a link

for anyone needing the same. I've tried them and they fit.
