I have broken the J-hook buckle for my gopro and am struggling to find a replacement.
It seems that gopro themselves don't seem them separately and I begrudge £25 on a grab bag and doubling up on other bits I already have and don't use just to replace one small part.

I have tried some ebay copies, but they are worse than useless.

Does anyone know of anywhere where individual buckles can be purchased, or recommend a supplier of known good pattern parts?
 
I've got a couple of SJ7000 go pro equivilants (£25 camera - brilliant) with lots of these sort of parts in. Never had an issues with these parts specifically buy I don't use the buckle one. What have you done, broken an arm off?
Whats up with the replacements you've tried?
 
I dropped the camera and one of the fingers of the buckle broke off. It still worked fine for a few months, until I dropped it again and broke off the other finger, doh!

I tried these ones from ebay.

Utter crap. The three tongues that mate with the grooves in the case are a fraction too narrow, so when you tighten it up there is point contact between the two parts rather than full face so it doesn't hold it's position. The thickness of the base is also slightly too thin, so when clipped into the original gopro sticky mount there is a degree of wobble. And finally the plastic grade is naff, I broke the finger off it the first time i squeezed them to remove it from the sticky mount, it's too brittle.
