Sorry mate, but as far as I know you can only buy sets of 4. May be a good idea to get same type as you have now, then you have 3 spares.

I had the misfortune to have someone run into the back of the van whilst towing it home, knocked one of the pads off amongst other damage to the rear panel.

I thought I would buy another set but the repairer told me when he dropped it off after doing the job, "you had one missing so we put a complete new set on for you" I thought that's good I've got 3 for spares now. However they are a completely different make and colour, and they kept the old 'uns. Thats life!

The pin is the weak point and meant to fail in a brush with a harder object, ferry loading ramp, kerb, etc., but you tend to loose the whole pad as a result as you don't realise its been shed. I have now drilled the pad and threaded a bit of tyrap through and round the loop of the foot, so if I bust a pin I still have the pad attached for refitting later. Pins can be bought separately, not cheap but less expensive than a new set of 4.
