correction--it's just the rubber boot part-it DOES NOT have threads on the inside. Or make a suggestion for a good replacement part. Thanks.

Years ago I made a couple of those when I could not find any.. Punched a hole through the bottoms of some "hardware store" rubber feet for the spikes to protrude through.

I then rounded out the holes with an old soldering iron.. Worked fine as I generally always used them with the spikes through and in contact with the floor ...

Cheers

John

Are you sure?

I have the same, I think, 70's spurs on 2 drums.

Not the best made. Lots of play in the connected tubes after years of use.

I drilled and tapped the connections. Better.

Mine have threaded rubber feet.

I have to agree with green glass drum on this. Makes no sense that the rubber foot would not be threaded. Is it possible you just have the wrong foot or the insert came out?

It is not the rubber that is threaded... It is the inner metal insert that is threaded ... the rubber is just is glued around that.. Contact cement holds it on.. So you just need a rubber that fits snugly around the threaded section ( and to make a hole for the spur to protrude)

Cheers

That's what I meant say.

Inner Insert.

Yes the rubber bit can perish, split, and that's usually the last you will see of it... But the hardware store fix does work... The type used on tubular leg bar stools is usually the go..
