suggestions, spreader for wood tripod

I'm afraid the rubber would just roll off the tab on the feet. There's not much to attach to on the tripod, without using a hook of some sort. The spikes are a full inch long also.

Would you attach somehow to the wooden triangle, or just drop in place?

I meant the basic plastic Sachtler with the heavy rubber fittings at the end. What are you using for the high legs? What happens when you tried that?

 

The spikes on the alloy casting should just drop into the wooden triangle spreader. Mine were made from 1"x1" stick with 1/8" ply gussets, glued and nailed. Very solid and reliable. Not so sexy looking in this vain age though.
