HI BRIAN,
I DONT KNOW THAT TYPE OF TRIPOD AS THE ONE I USE IS A HOMEMADE ONE,BUT IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS ACCESS TO A LATHE HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TURN YOU ONE BY JUST DRAWING A SIMPLE SKETCH OF IT,OR JUST BRING THE TRIPOD WITH YOU AND HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MEASURE THE INNER AND OUTER DIAMETER AND THETHICKNESS OF IT.
