I need to replace the rubber bushing in the pivot mount for the Beta 52. Shure tells me the part is not available since they have changed the mounting system on the mic. Any ideas?

Re: Beta 52 Mount Bushing
Not knowing what it looks like, I'm wondering if you can cut a new one out of an old inner-tube. I assume it's a washer-shaped piece that serves as a friction point?
My first idea wasn't as productive:

Re: Beta 52 Mount Bushing
we went to our local surplus store and bought some rubber tubing, and found a normal washer of the same size. traced it and cut it out with a knife.
Do you have an original Beta 52, or a beta 52A? Shure likes to tell everyone with an original beta 52 tough shit, send it in for ''repair'' aka replace it. We had an issue with the screw being striped and Shure doesn't make that knob anymore... mic works fine still. but i'm not paying the flat fee for a stupid thumb screw. so I found a surplus bolt that works for the time being.

I Ended up pulling the rubber bit out of ours and leaving it out.
Also had the same problem with out Beta56s. Ripping it out didn't create too many problems.

I quick visit to your local Ace or TruValue hardware store will find you what you need. Been there, done that! I think it cost me about $.50 to replace mine. It wasn't the exact part that Shure uses but it works just as good.
