Help sourcing replacement bits for lightstand/umberella swivel

PopeBuckfastXVI

Hi All,

I stupidly broke off the screwy part of a stud inside a spigot so they're both useless now.

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement in Ireland, I was ordering them from mpex.com, the cost for the two of them is $14 but the shipping is coming out at $31, which is crazy!

Anywhere I can get them in Ireland would be much appreciated, as even if they cost a little more the difference in shipping/customs should make up for it.

I'm in Galway btw.

Thanks in advance!

Fajitas!

If you were in Dub, I'd tell you to head over to Chadwicks, but not sure about Galway - If you don't mind a DIY job, head to a good hardware store, and have a root through what they have, shouldn't take you too long to find something that'll do the job just as well.

Check DML in Dublin to see if they have them in stock, If they do I can collect them and will be in Galway on Sunday week and you can collect them from me!

Fajitas!

^ Better still.

Thanks Dodgy, I've just fired them off an email, I'll follow up with a phone call if I don't hear anything back by tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

Much appreciate the help from both of you

If that doesn't work out, I'm in New York next weekend - if B&H have them, I could get them for you (and I live in galway).
