Call me a cheapskate, but I can't get onboard with spending $100 on what essentially amounts to some bent metal, a rod and, a spring.
So I went to my local Ace hardware, and bought 2 32" stainless steel rods, a length of welding metal and a couple springs.
Using a small bench vise, ballpeen hammer, hacksaw, files, and an electric drill, I spent a couple of hours and I now have functional clubdate brackets.
The spring and clipper on the left is the original, the right clipper was fabricated.
I reversed one of them so it would face inward on the backside of the floortom.
