I was sent a used Lyman Big Dipper and during a relocation have lost the 3 post and screws that support the pot. Does anybody have a dead one these pieces can salvaged from? I did contact Lyman and it is not available from them.

From a picture of the Big Dipper the posts appear to be rolled tubing.A seam is visible in the photo.You should be able to find a substitute in a hardware store.Possibly a large diameter roll pin would work.Plus whatever type of screws.
Take it to the hardware store and find the correct screws both thread pitch and length. The supports on mine are aluminum tubing. Once you have the screws a piece of tubing can be bought at menards lowes or home depot or ordered from online metals. Get the correct id for the screws and the thickest wall possible. Brass or aluminum would be fine steel will work also.cut to length and install with the screws.
