Well i wont say i told you so,

You have one of two options,

1) Buy a new pick blade from SO if they indeed sell them

or

2) Make a new pick blade from a hacksaw blade useing your broken one as a template,

What part of the pick broke? the individual picks or something else?

They do indeed sell them but while you are ordering you may as well order real picks at the same time and save on delivery. you will the normal picks much nicer to work with.
All the best

If it was a pick you broke, were you applying too much tension on the plug?
