[Rhodes22-list] Bottom of IMF Tube

[Wally Buck]

Bill,

The beige piece is cracked and missing flange. A small screw holds flange in 
place  The boom slider piece screws into the two black rings. One of mine 
stripped out a while back. I just redrilled new hole on same black ring and 
it has held up fine.
