Bike trailer replacement hitch/coupling? Anyone?

I have a bike trailer like this but the coupling which attachs it to the bike is broken.
I love it dearly and am very sad . I am also now always late for everything...
Does anyone know either where I can buy a new one or have one on an old trailer which I can buy off them?

Which end is it - the bike end or the trailer end? I can't really see the coupling in the pix, but it looks rather like the one from my luggage trailer. That came from www.bikesandtrailers.com - they might be able to help you.
Otherwise, have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? DH bought a trailer at a police auction missing the bike part of the hitch - he just emailed the manufacturer & they sold him the missing bits for a few £££s.

The missing bit is the one which attaches to the bike. I'll email that link and see. Thanks.

Another thought - if you don't have any luck finding a 'proper' one, you could try your local engineering works or local bike fixer & see if they could make you something up that would do.
We bought an islabikes trailerbike 2nd hand which didn't have the bike end of the hitch, and DH improvised a perfectly good attachment with angle iron and bolts, probably not as light as the original, but works fine.
