Ok let me be a little clearer. These pins from Schempp or Schiecher are made in such a way that when installed on the Hotelier can't come off, can't be dropped They are installed on many ASW 19/20, Std Cirrus and can be easily connected blind.

For a source in north America you can try Eastern Sailplane, Williams Soaring or M&H Soaring.
