Title: Gross Tuchel white foam ring
Post by: ratite on August 25, 2023, 09:57:50 PM

I noticed some of my swivels are missing the foam rubber ring that surrounds the base of the female recepticle and wondered if it can be ordered separately and what the part number and best online retailer would be?

I assume you are talking about the rubber gasket (usually white) that sits at the bottom of Tuchel M2xx broadcast connectors, which acts as buffer to avoid cracking the plastic connector inserts during tightening?

No one makes these anymore, as far as I know. Binder's flimsy version may be your only option short of fabricating them yourself

From RadarDoug:

"Find an 'O' ring supplier. They come in a wide range of sizes and diameters. Find one that is closest to the size of the old square section ones."
