Try your local camera store. I doubt a national chain will have them but the local mom & pop just might.

Wild their version looks like someone took a t-nut (filed off the wings) and epoxied a 5/8" threading around it...

Interesting, I should see what hardware store around here sells the threaded rod with the proper threads what is it 5/8-20? and make a few of these for us here on the board..

it's a 5/8-27 thread.  Very fine thread, not the common 5/8-11 or 5/8-18 thread.  I've never seen outside of this hobby.

I have one that was given to me by another member here for free, right after i bought a ton of misc brass fittings and spigots for bogen clamps from a fella and their were like 10 in the package. If you want one, pay shipping and I'll pay the freebie forward. Let me check at home to make sure it's the right thing, you just need it to go from 1/4" to 5"8 for a tbar correct?
