Nevermind... I found one made from aluminum on ebay which I hope will work right for me.
Thanks,
Claude

The foot on mine broke several years ago (only weakness I ever found in this flash) and I too found an aluminum one through an ad in a photo magazine. If the one you found doesn't work check this out... FLASH FOOT ONE, Holly enterprises, Van Nuys, CA. The flash foot has no electrical connection to the camera flash shoe but instead it is threaded for a standard tripod or flash bracket thread which is perfect for my purposes.
