Dave Clarke Headset Spares...
Can anyone advise where I can get spare parts for Dave Clarke Headsets. I've tried to find their website but no joy. Basically what I'm after is the smaller of the two jack plugs or failing that the whole cable assembly.

What's this - Chris been throwing the Bonanza around too violently again??!! 
Don't have a flying mag in with me at work, but trying to rememeber the company that advertise in the mags for headset repairs. A Google search just found the following, which may be of some use: Headset Repairs who can be contacted on 0870 901 5579 or via email on [email protected] . They're based in Birkenhead.
If you're looking for a 'self repair' option, I'd be a bit careful - the leads on these headsets is often made up of a copper / nylon strands mix for flexibility and can be a right s*d to solder!! If you were trying to follow this route, I'd look in a components catalogue such as CPC, Farnell or RS for an appropraite jack plug. If you have any difficulties, email me, as I'm basically an electronics engineer by training (although I spend most of my time directing others to do the dirty work these days!!).
[Edited to apologise to BRL for a post that obviously crossed in the ether with his - they're the ones I was originally thinking of, so probably a better option posted by him]

I got a set of leads from headset services recently to repair a clapped out old Peltor. Was offerred the choice of I think Peltor, David Clarke or Pilot Avionics in decreasing order of outlandish cost. Settled for the cheapest (Pilot Avionics) which appeared to have been made in the same factory as the existing Peltor as some of the mouldings were identical. They fitted no problem and worked a treat.
("outlandish" here not a dig at HS who were quick and efficient. They are stuck with buying from the OEM at his prices)
Cost was £21.20 plus VAT & carriage

MLS-12D - Perhaps his problem was "googling" for David Clarke rather than David Clark.
