Looking for parts

I have a Pac Bay Wrapper with the standard chuck. The chuck lost one of the self centering fingers. These and the all black approx. 1 1/4" X 3/8" pieces with a thin piece of metal and a rubber pad. So I called pac bay and they said I need to order the whole chuck, which I already did and have. However, I still have a chuck that I would like to use for drying or whatever missing a finger. Anyone have an extra one or a source to get just the piece I need?

Second question, I need to build a rod rack. I'm looking for the rubber clips you see on the commercial racks that hold the upper portion in. Or if there are other products or ways to hold the upper portion of the blanks in I'm all ears or eyes.

Thanks for any info that may help,
Kevin

Kevin,

Take a look at this page --> [] and see if those aren't the "clips" you're looking for.

Those look really nice. I'm not home so I don't have rods to measure. How high to you have to go for the 3/8" size to fit a seeker 196 or 270? Can you fit something bigger than 3/8" in the clip like a 865H without going really high? I'm flying down that way(Glendale) tomorrow but my schedule was just filled so no time to stop by.

Thanks,
Kevin

Assuming you have 7'ers, the 196 measures 3/8" at 48" from the butt and the 270 is 3/8" at 50" from the butt. The "claw" type being flexible, will hold either down to about 40".
