Again what is a good place to shop for accessories?

I've had good luck w/ one of these for 10-years. When the rubber bumper on the cross-rod gets beat you can cut it off and recover with standard automotive neoprene hose. The base is thick rubber and makes a good, long-life cushion; the steel doesn't pit or corrode.



No maggots bit it is dumped and rinsed with hot water after the days use.
