Seems to be an ongoing thing in the US with getting parts for Buffets - I was in Portsmouth VA back in 2007 and a music shop with repair facilities just outside said they were having to wait for ages to not get any parts sent to them.

You're probably better off ordering the parts from the UK as they seem to be readily available here. I've had a small bag of nylon pins that have lasted me around fifteen years now, only because I have to replace some broken ones but have gone for a more preventative measure of reinforcing them with 0.9mm steel (needle spring - see attachment) so they won't break instead of replacing ones that are already installed. Thumbrest parts are the other things that are regularly needed due to the weak design, but again they're available off the shelf here or the other option is fit a Yamaha style one made from brass or nickel silver instead of a weak zinc casting.

But I wish they'd beef up the RH F/C touchpiece so it's not so bendy.
