Default Cam tensioner help needed

Here's the situation. I have an 05 Ultra, 30k miles. Going to swap the tensioners as they are worn. The previous owner installed a Screaming Eagle cam plate shortly after buying the bike new. This plate has upgraded oiling but still uses the spring tensioners. So, I was going to just install new Cyco tensioners. The issue is, i have not found the dam tensioner pins anywhere. No one, including Cyco have them in stock. The Cyco tensioners have lasted very well in my other bike. I dont want to turn this into a upgrade discussion. I'm aware of all the options. Just wondering if anyone else knows a source for those pins. There are some on Ebay, but shipped from China..... If not, then i'll do the hydraulic upgrade.
