I assume everyone is familiar with these clamps. You will remember that they have a plastic rail support at the far end which servesas a support and it prevents the movable part of the clamp from falling off the end. These supports can be removed if you want to turn the clamp into a spreading clamp. It turns out that if you hang the clamps vertically from a support and if the movable part of the clamps comes flying down toward the plastic rail support, it can break off the plastic rail support. DAMHIKT. I have searched high a low for a replacement for the broken plastic rail support with no luck. I don't want to epoxy what is left of the support in the hole because then I can't remove it and if I run a bolt through it (current solution), the clamp will not open to its fullest dimension. Does anyone know how I might be able to buy one of these? I have called a couple of woodworking shops in my area (Rockler and Woodcraft) with no luck.
TIA.
