    The DML site has to be one of the worst ever. Slow, no pricing and very little information. Was quite interested when I first went saw it, but wouldn't be bothered now. Pity.

    Aparantly its a handy enough part to break off, i damaged my flash before after a fall (the zoom lens inside for the flash head came off its rails) and while looking for instructions on how to take it apart came across a guide to replacing the hotshoe mount if your ahndy wiht a soldering iron i dotn think theres too much to it.

    A google search should throw something up.....

    I'm pretty sure i've seen the replacement parts on ebay too for sale.

    Happened to me once and I needed the flash the next day so I made a piece out of plastic and shaped it with a file it looks real rough but lasted long enough to get a replacement

    A friend dealt with them before and they replaced the HSM motor in his Sigma lens in a week so they have good points :)
