TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Backpack plastic clip spare part

I use a Deuter Trans Alpine 30. One of the thin plastic clip that keeps one of the belt straps nice and tight has snapped.
See pic:

I sent Deuter an email asking if they supplied this spare part. No response so far. I am tired of waiting and certainly so t purchase a new pack because of a small piece of plastic now missing.
Maybe there is some other source which stocks it os something similar.
Any idea?

Not exactly the same but Aliexpress has many of these 'little things'.

Nice! Thanks. I never purchased anything before on that site. Any extra requirements apart from registering? I hope they have PayPal.

No Paypal. Potentially very slow delivery. But huge range and great prices. A lot of stuff arrives within a few weeks now.

No PayPal as said earlier. AliExpress is owned by Alibaba group and is their international language version of Taobao, so fully dependable. You can pay by CC or set up an account with AliPay (similar to PayPal) and pay through that. In choosing, check out individual vendor’s price, feedback and postage, varies and most have free postage. Here in Sydney, items typically arrive in 2-3 weeks. Out of 60-70 purchases, had one item stuck in Aust Post/customs for 8 weeks. So it’s quite dependable.
