My nephew is a machinist who works in the Victoria Shipyards for the Canadian Navy and reproduced these 2 strainer ends for my Premier 2000. They are made from aircraft aluminum. One of the original ones snapped. He did a great job. AND the government allowed him to do it for free :D
Done in CAD then milled. Nice job, Adam!
Wow, those look fantastic. Those pieces are pretty well known to break, and CAD files can be (depending on the program) read by many mills... Think he'd agree to share the file with the VDF community???
Ya maybe. He just left for Mexico but I'll ask him when he gets back.
BTW, I KNEW someone was going to ask this HAHAHA

I machined my own replacement parts 30yrs ago at the generosity of general motors who have always supported the drumming community, I think. The die cast doesn't cut it I machined mine out of tool steel, still going strong and this is on my playing snare. My brother replaced his strainer with an after market unit much to my discuss.
