[Boatanchors] Need Black Plastic (or Rubber) Risers

[Rob Atkinson]

I think Dick is looking for the plastic front extenders that bolt on
between rubber feet and the bottom of a chassis.  I don't know where
to get those sorry.

but McMaster-Carr has a wide variety of black rubber bumpers (what we
usually call feet) in bags of 50.  I usually get the ones with the
metal washers in them so I don't have to find washers.  You can get
them without the washers but I don't like having screw heads chew up
the rubber.   you'll be surprised at how fast you use up 50.  Around
here, almost anything that comes in, either cabinets or old CW keys
need new feet.  Don't pay five six or seven dollars for a pack of 6
when you can get them from McMaster-Carr for 40 cents each.   There's
someone who is always selling Vibroplex feet on eBay in sets of three
for around 6 dollars.  Probably buy them from McMaster-Carr.

One thing I like to do is change out the feet on heavy gear like 100
lb rigs with new feet that are an inch tall.  That lets me get my
gloved fingers in there underneath for lifting and keeps them from
getting smashed when I put a heavy set down.
