looking for the same stuff in australia, let us know if you have any spares.

What size is the bass? I have a lug for you, and possibly a chrome hoop, no inlay. I bought a snare in that finish as well, and if you want it as well, let me know. The T-rods are going to be hard to get in good condition. Claws, everywhere. I'll look about and see what I can get for you.

If you want the snare, let me know, I'll think it over and set it up in the meantime. I haven't got it yet, but expect it any day now. I have a 13" tom with it, I think. What size is your tom?

Johnni,

The kit is 20, 13, 16. I just finished the detailing of the kit and am going to sell it. I was hoping to find a matching hoop and t-rods, but if that takes forever, I'm just liable to move it along. The wrap is beautiful from close-up, there's scratches, but hard to see...It polished up pretty nice for a MIJ and cast lugs are spotty, but as my hot rod buddy would say, "it's a 10 footer" The larger the number for feet, the uglier it is close-up. I stay away from 100-footers.

OK, well, I have one lug for the tom, let me know if you want it. Truth is, with or without the hoops and claws won't make a big enough difference in your final anyway, after cost of shipping and all that. The hoop is a chrome, no inlay and I can send those if you want. The best way, if you really want to do the hoop and Ts is to change them out on the front for modern ones. It is so much easier to get them and they are cheap enough if you get them from Mikey. Ts and inserts to match. He may have the lug as well, and a hoop. He is so much closer to you than I am, you could drive there, take the drums with and get them fully ready to go. How far can it be to go see him, an hour, max? Oh, I forget, it takes an hour to go around the block in Hell A....

I have the claws and T rods. But mine are chrome, yours look to be nickel? Or is just a dull reflection in the photo?

They just look like they are nickel.

Hey BBK,if you can get the claws and t-rods and the lug.I have a 20" matching chrome rim with the red inlay..email me ..Mikey

Hey you guys, I'm in the same boat looking for mij parts too. i didn't get to see the photo but i know what I've got looks like Star model A bass-drum lug no. 922 as per the 1972 Tama/Star catalog. I just need the 3 nuts there. Is there anyone (or businesses) out there with parts for these older models? Thanks

Yes i have a ton of M.I.J. parts from the 60s-70s...Do you just need the inserts for the lugs,T-rods and claws,or lug....Best to email me you can try a P.M. but my box fills up everyday...Mikey
