Somehow, I don't know how, the locking lever on my Manfrotto pistol grip tripod head broke. I tried looking on-line for a replacement part, but could not find it in the 30 min of searching that I did. Does anyone know of a place that sells these parts? Here's what I'm talking about:

Try the Bogen/Manfrotto Parts Dept (external link). The link has the phone numbers, etc.

I can't even find the other part. I don't even know when/how it broke. How's that epoxy holding? I'd be scared it would break eventually.

Just a thought for y'all....

You can get this RC2 System Quick Release Adapter (external link) that will replace the works on top of ball heads and probably the grip type ball heads as well. One significant advantage of buying it instead of individual parts is that you get an extra quick release plate in the process.
