I fixed my AT4310a's a few months ago with shock cord from this sire (scroll to the bottom of the page):

I can't recall if I bought the 1/16 or 3/32 size.  At that price, get a few yards of both.

Hair care products for pony tails at your local drug store. Get 100 for a buck. I'm serious.

If high dollar Schoeps are going in those mounts, Rycote Invisions would be a good replacement to protect your mics.

Agreed on the Rycotes, they are the best.

If you really want a direct replacement for the A20 and cheap, I will be a broken record and post this one for the umpteenth time:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Professional-Microphone-Clip-Clamp-Holder-Shock-Mount-Suspension-22mm-Shotgun-Pencil-Professional-Wholesale-Hot-Sales/845326327.html

I own 3 of these.  Build quality is equal to the Schoeps mounts.  Cradle is 22mm, so I add some self adhesive felt dots to hold 20mm mics securely.  As a bonus, no scratching of the mics taking them in and out.  No worries dealing with this seller, I have bought other items from them and have had zero problems.  Shipping does take a very long time, but US dealers no longer stock these Schoeps mount clones.

I agree with voltronic, these are a good replacement.  Dirt cheap, too.

But you should try to contact AT directly.......they sent me replacement cords, with clips, for free a couple of years ago, just for asking.

That's what I used for my Sabra Soms and now on my generic also.

Medium dollar dpa 4022s. What I do is mount my dpa cmxo ortf/xy mount into a single a20s. But I also have those rubber dpa shocks, and the cmxo fits nicely in there, and also fits in a line audio shock. So no mo plastic Schoeps mount. Hated thst thing. Thanks All!
