Does anyone know what the size tom legs slingerland used in the 70's? reason I need to know is I want to get some replacement ones to use to stablize my floor tom when I use as a bass, so I need to make sure what I get will fit, the ones I was looking at are from Trick they are 10.5 mm the guy at trick didn't think his would fit. I figured you guys would know

Mine are 9.5 mm or right at 3/8 give or take a thousandth or 2.
That's off of a early 70 kit.

I am sure there are plenty available as there have been many conversions of vintage floor toms doing exactly what you are wanting to do.
Truly, if all else fails, you can get a local machine shop to start with a 3/8" stainless rod and have it bent to your specifications. They can grind te ends to a point and you purchase some rubber feet. If you really want it, you can then go to a plating shop to have them chromed. That may be necessary due to the placement of the leg brackets on a four leg Slingerland anyway.
