Any help appreciated. One of our guys thought it was for something else then we got schooled!
Does this part have to slide up the leg? And how far up off the ground should it be?

Yep your part fits on the corner angle around eye level. This is what you need my tower bracket is different than yours cause mine is earlier.

Is this going to him Dan?

David, measure the inside Dia of the holes, and the outside spacing of the holes across the bracket. A replacement needs to not only span the length, but fill the hole.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Just showing him what the parts look like Bob, this one goes to my open gear Samson. I might have some others but to cold and snowy to check the grave yards.

Ok. Just wondering. I have a bunch of that stuff in a box, but not sure what all is in there. If no one comes through, I maybe can if I have a few of them, and they measure up.

The holes are 1-15/16” diameter and they are 2-7/8” apart (inside dimension). We have just the one part. Any help appreciated.

Tried to send a PM to windybob and said he doesn’t exist. Hope he sees this.

If I don't exist then it sure hurts when I stub my toe.

I wrote them down. I will check and holler back.

I have no idea why the PM didn't work. I believe others can do it without issue.
