Elbow latch?

OK, it finally happened. I broke a Tippmann. During a hyperball game this Sunday, I first shredded a few dozen balls, ran my 98 out of air, then broke the elbow latch. Played the rest of the game sans gun. THAT was pretty exciting. Switched back to my SL-68II for the rest of the day, and actually played far better.

Anyway, to the point, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a metal elbow latch that can be bought. I'd hate to do this again, and I'm pretty sure these latches aren't a standard item in the Air-Tipps repair kits (or anywhere I've seen). Even the Pro-Team and Lapco replacement elbows call for using the stock elbow latch. Anyone seen something stronger than the plastic one that came on my gun?

Thanks in advance!
