Subject: [Leica] Tiltall query

Hello!

Bit of a bizarre question this. Last year there was a brief 
discussion that someone had started remaking the Tiltall tripods. My 
partner borrowed my Tiltall and sadly left one of its leg sections 
behind her somewhere. Hence, i now have a somewhat unusable tripod. 
Short of machining one, any one know if i can get the factory that is 
remaking them to part with a short leg section/new leg? Anyone know 
of a compatible leg? Now, before you start making jokes about Gary 
the 'leg man'; the guy who only has two legs to stand on; bad enough 
that Kiwi's can't fly, now they can't walk either;....am i going to 
have to replace my venerable Tiltall, please say it isn't so.

All the best,
Gary 'Legless in New Zealand'
