Re: parts for V-pan camera

[Ellis Vener <evphoto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for the offer, it is mighty kind. Let me describe the pieces I am looking
for: You know these tensioning screws that lock the standards into position along
the rail? well I am looking for the white plastic or teflon pieces that actually
make contact with the rail. These pieces "pop" on the heads of the metal screws
that are attached to the black plastic knobs that you actually turn.  There are
two of these assemblies per standard and two on the tripod mount. Isuspect they
are an off the shelf item. I just need to know what shelf to look on.
