Hi, Please advise: a source for Slik U212 tripod parts.
I specifically need 2 "cam clamp covers". These are black plastic moldings shown in the attachment.
The overal dimensions are 1 1/2 x 1 1/8 x 1 3/8".
I have tried 2 different adhesives without success: crazy glue and PVC cement.

I also need the "medium" size set screw knob on the head- not the pan head knob and not the smallest knob.

Thanks very much for your help.

Have you tried Slik to see if they have a parts department?

I second that about Gorilla Glue. It's amazing!

Can you email Slik and ask about parts?

Hey they still make my heavy tripod - a U212DX with a AF2100 head. I've had it 10+ years, I'm sure there must have been some tweaks, but I'm suprised to even see it in the line still.
