a guy I sold my old Aquatica housing and Nikon F3 to just broke off one of the pins in the connector, he has the standard Nik 3 connections ie no TTL. He went to the local dealer who quoted him $AUS340 ($US325) to post him the part that he can fit himself.
Is this a 'normal' price for a connector and are there alternative suppliers for these parts?
I was amazed as I was going to upgrade one of my connectors to a Nik 5 for TTL. Cant imagine how much a TTL connector would cost.

Hi Ardy,
Forget about Australia mate, they are bloody rip-off merchants...
Contact either Backscatter.com or ReefPhotoVideo.com both excellent USA retailers with personalised service... I think that Backscatter are the Aquatica distributers.
The other option is to contact Jean from Aquatica directly throught these pages- fantastic bloke.
I think he is Visart or something similar...do a search
HTH,
Bruce...
Contact Aquatica directly or go to B&H Photo & Video. I picked up one from B&H a couple of years ago for under US$200 if I recall.
Ryan at Reef Photo is not an Aquatica dealer.
Edit:
Quick lookup. I think this is what you are looking for (non-TTL):
