Need some help finding a bullet pin.

Just tried fitting a KMC HL1 1 speed chain to a dirt jumper and when I came to add the bullet pin - I didn’t realise my chain tool was slightly bent and the bullet pin snapped before going through.

I know need a replacement pin ideally from somewhere like Amazon.

I can see ones for sale at KMC in the US but struggling to find something UK. Can anyone advise where I can get one from please?

Singlespeed quick links (assume 1/8th chain?) are definitely a thing, or is there a technical reason you'd not use one on a dirt jump bike?

I just need the bullet pin I think, not the whole half link

Just get yourself something like this dude, makes future maintenance so much easier.
