Shouck mount SNAPPED!!
« on: November 23, 2004, 09:40:27 AM »
So I guess I don't know my own strength and tightened my AT Shock Mount to the vert bar a little too much. My wife was trying to help break down the rig, and she literally BROKE it down. The mount snapped off the base. >:(  :'(  Any easy, reliable fixes? Superglue? JB Weld? Gum? Anything? Need one by Saturday, but don't know that spending $45+ and overnight shipping is what I want to do right now to get a new one. Thanks!

I'm surprised i haven't broken one of mine.  I have gone to using pliers on the part where it attaches to the vert bar.  I would say JB weld should do the trick till they can slow boat you a new one, overnight would still be iffy w/ the holiday.

I've fixed my ADK Supermounts w/ superglue before.  You could try that JB Weld stuff too...

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

Being the loving husband I am  ;), I put the initial blame on me for putting it on there to damn tight.


I'm gonna go the JB Weld route for this weekend, but then pick up a new one that can be slow boated to me...After Saturday I don't have any open taping for a few weeks.

Another unrelated tip...

In time...the hoop has a tendency to pull away from its mount stub...so they get lose. If you remove the big screw at the swivel point and look down in the joint (toward the hoop) -- there is a hole with a small screw that you can tighten that will draw the hoop snug with the stub...hope that makes sense...(I'm making some of those terms up!)

(Not totally sure if I'm talking about the mount in question...)

I think I follow you. at first the hoop was just spinning, then it just came off. You can hear raddling now if you shake it. Maybe the screw just came loose? I'll check that out when I get home tonight.

I'd say it just needs to be screwed down then.

Where's a good place to get replacement bands? Mine are getting a little stretched.

not sure if they would work...but you can buy black elastic ponytail bands....they at least - look- like the same thing...

plus...check...somtimes the bands get pulled too tight on whatever holds them on the hoop....leaving them seem limp...pull more of the band back on the hoop part...(again...doing this from memory...)

not being a prick, but this is the reason i got the AT 8415 shocks, theyre metal construction and alot less for me to break on them, add the super shocks and this is what you have

and the basic 8415 is the same price as the 8410's, but YMMV
