They have a tongue that slides into a slot in the bridge and the mast on an adjustable slide. These days they would appear to be seriously expensive, well the few I can find are. Has anyone made a substitute? I'd like to keep my metal bridges, after all the rust effect on them is genuine rust!

Ben Update: Saw this clever solution, turning 7009 base around and trim end hook. Looks like one could do this even nicer with thin metal strip.

I removed the original bottom stand of a mast and replaced with metal strip. I use double strip to create more grip. Catenary lengths match the separation of ramp slits, so no need for adjustable positioning.
