Odd, I got them from Schleicher a ago. Great improvement on pins.

Another option, since Wedekind sleeves involve a bit of installation...

use a different type of connector on the EB28 and EB29. They have just made them retrofittable n LS- 1d, 1f, 4, 4a 6a, 6b... But that is done through DG, who are a pain in the arse to deal with if you don't pay the "LS Tax".
Here is the LS retrofit page, where you see the connector.

Since the EB series started out as ASH25, perhaps they have something that works on ASW20.
That connector is much nicer looking than the nasty old L'Hotelliers.
I've personally found two L'Hotelliers that failed, discovered while de-rigging after flight. Both fortunately had safeties.

These Binder SKB connectors sound interesting. Do they replace both of the L'Hotelliers parts (the ball and the cup portions)?

Thanks, John
