Guys, what's the current "best practice" for fixing disintegrated leg "clutch" pieces? I've got a '56 D8 that's in super shape, except the leg clutches are dried up, broken up, and dead. Is there a specific currently-available part (like a mic stand kit) that works well?

The legs are otherwise in great shape (no pits, rust, etc.), just that lousy plastic? collar. So, I don't really want to replace the legs. I'd like to be able to spend $10 on parts to fix the old ones!

Check the net for Atlas microphone stand replacement parts.

Thanks, Guys. I have an email in to Don now. I'll look into the Atlas parts (or the 3D printer at work!) if BSG doesn't have what I need.
