One of the Pelican hooks on my lifelines lost the pin and internal 
spring when I tried to replace the split ring last year. I didn't 
realize it would pop apart and that the freed up parts would leap 
overboard the way they did. The look and dimensions of the hook suggests 
that it is a Hayn brand hook (4"). See 
http://www.hayn.com/marine/replacement/pelican.html. Does anyone know 
for sure? More importantly, does anyone know whether it's possible to 
purchase just the missing parts (pin, internal spring and split ring) 
somewhere?  I see a repair kit for Johnson brand pelican hook on 
Defender, but nothing for Hayn. Does anyone know if the pins and springs 
are interchangeable?
