Hello. I am looking gor some blackfoot j parts. new or used . one of my shock mounts has broken and i need to replace. thx

They are very hard to find, and most of them have splits. I needed a set for my MB to replace both that had split, and it took ages to find them. There are new ones out there but they cost a lot even if you can find them.

Even if you can find a set chances they'll split again if you use it with any agression.

To stop mine breaking again (and this would work on ones with a small split or even broken ones) I took the short selt tapper out of the top at the back and replaced it with a 35mm M3 screw. This leaves enough sticking through to mount the shock with a nylock nut and hold the unit together. If your mount has broken off a couple of nuts could be used behind the shock to bring it out to the correct position.
