Subject: Betr: [Simmons Drums] Re: Bass spurs or make a replacement?

Hi all
shouldn't be that hard, can somebody with spurs, measure them (the diameter)??
Bet it's standard tubing, you go to the nearest metalwordkplace and let them
fix you some spurs. My experience is that most craftsmen like those weird
guys with those 'stupid" projects, so should not cost to much. I have some
workshops I regarly visit for all kinds off projects: these guys allways
start nagging, but in the end, they allways help, with a smile on their face,
without me paying to much money.

Or perhaps look to some chinese hardware manufacturer, you will be surprised
what these guys sell (watch out that you don't get their mother in law)
