Topic: Replacement Knob-bolts for mic holders?

[down2earthlandscaper]

I have plenty of mic clips/holders/shock mounts,  but not enough of the threaded knob-bolt things to mount them to the mic bar.
Does anyone know where to get these? (like the K & M one pictured in the middle)

Thanks,

Here is the K&M replacement part - $2.45 at Full Compass. Not sure you can beat that. It is a special order, but it says it ships in 7-14 days.

3/8-16 for the smaller threads - available at any hardware store.

5/8-27 for the larger threads - good luck finding it anywhere off the shelf.

obviously K&M for the real replacements.

Not with the proper undercut. I've spent a good deal of time looking.

If you don't need/want the undercut, yes, the hardware store has plenty of these in various lengths.

i got tired of the threaded bars, and drilled them out. i then used 3/8-16 allen head screws, and wing nuts in place of the 'undercut" screws.

^nifty mount man..  how is that shock mount connected to your stand?

Its a DPA shock mount. The rest of it is my DIY Axis-Reference Stereo Bar, some jury-rigged clips, and stainless hardware.

As always, a wealth of helpful information. You guys are great!
I searched online last night for a half hour at least and couldn't find that part!
Seems like they make them hard to find so you have to buy a whole mic bar if you want those pieces....
Maybe I was using the wrong search terms. Anyway - Thank You!
