40-50's Slingerland floor tom leg mounts... need measurements.......

Posts: 5356 Threads: 87

Well I have been looking for 3 Slingy floor tom mounts without much luck. Guess these are a bit difficult to find. Until I can find some I have thought about making my own. Just flat bar stock, 4 bends, 5 holes, eye bolt and wingnut. Can someone who has a original mount please give me some measurements? I need to know...........

Thickness of the bar stock looks like 3/16". Just need to confirm width of the mount and thickness of the bar steel used.

Length of each section. Does not need to be exact just close to get me in the ball park.

Size of the holes drilled to mount and for tom legs to pass through.

Centerline of the mount holes on my tom are 2 1/8" so it's a fairly small bracket.

Here's a pic of what I'm trying to make. Anyone that can help I'd be very grateful~! :)

I took a close look at the tom shell this afternoon. I was able to see from the witness marks in the wrap the bracket is 1" thick and top and bottom edges are rounded. I'll head to Home Depot tomorrow and see what they have in flat bar stock. I drew a pretty good diagram of what I thought it's like. I'll do a mockup in thin aluminum sheet first to be sure the spacing is right and there's room for the leg to pass through ok. If anyone can add anything please do. More to come................
