Re: Trying to fix a broken Pearl cymbal stand..help ?
Based on the parts breakdown, that bushing looks very similar to the ones they use on their BT-3 tom mount brackets. If the 2nd tube is 7/8", it's conceivable that it could be the same bushing for supply management reasons. I've seen replacement bushings for the BT-3 on various web sites. Or, you could buy a used BT-3 off EBay and rob the bushing.
If it's not the same, I would go to the local home improvement store and buy a flanged nylon bushing of appropriate size. I'm sure with a little time and a Dremel tool, I could fab a replacement.
Third option is buy a cheap used stand off EBay (any brand, as long as the tube diameter is the same) and just use the base with the rest of your Pearl stand.
Last option: drill a hole through the clamp bracket and the tube that goes in it. Then, just use a hitch pin. That would keep it extended and keep it from rotating at the same time.
