Long story short, some of the rubber grips of my 60D are starting to peel off so I'm looking for replacement parts to do myself.

I have had no luck searching on eBay (based on the 60D Flickr group suggestions). I have come across USCamera.com and the prices are reasonable.

I'm just wondering if anyone has dealt with them and if they're a reputable source.

Other suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Yes, I've ordered the rubber foot for the 580EXII to put on my 430EXII (it fits and works well!). Got it in a reasonable amount of time, maybe a week, maybe less. Ordered it last year, didn't have any problems with the transaction. I would have no problem buying from them again.

Good to hear. Hoping there are more that share the same sentiment.

Mentioning the speed lite, I'm now considering a metal foot of the 430EXII for my 430EX.

They are reputable. I bought some parts for a 5d and everything worked perfectly.

Alright. Thanks. Not concerned for finding somewhere to buy the grips anymore.

I have bought several things from them. 2 different LCD screens, a diffuser screen for a flash, and a flash foot. You can get some good deals buying equipment that has damage to those areas that can be changed and fixed on your own without sending to a repair shop. All of my transactions have been fine with them.

I wonder if the base/locking mechanism for a YongNuo 560 can be switched out/replaced with the locking mechanism on a 580ex II flash. Would be nice since I much prefer the quick lock/unlock on the 580 ex II.
