I have the anti twist plates for the 488 RC2 and lost one of the bolts and busings from the plate. Anyone know where you can get these parts where it makes sense, rather than just buying a new one?

Doc...

I assume the 488RC2 came with the standard plate. Can't you use the bolt and 'C' washer from it? I'm too lazy to go upstairs to take mine appart to see if the bolts are the same length...:oops: ...but assume they are.

If you are using the standard plate someplace else....some alternatives:

- Buy a new std plate @ 11.95 vs. 22.95 (B&H)
- If the std plate is in use, but semi-permenant...i.e. rarely removed, get a 1/4-20 bolt from a hardware store....I have used on base of my brackets. Might also find a 'C' washer, but....

If none of those work, here is info from The Bogen site:

how can I obtain spare or replacement parts for any product carried by Bogen?

But, frankly, the effort might be more than the $23. to replace the whole 3157NR

Thanks so much. I tried the standard one and the bolt is too short to fit. I will call bogen.
