Fix for broken brackets on tunze nanostreams?

[stryker]

Two of my four 6055 nanostream brackets have broken. These are the clamps that hold the powerhead to the magnet. From reading this forum, this seems to be a popular problem. I was wondering if there is going to be a fix for these - maybe stronger clamps. These clamps failed in a very short time and I am afraid the problem will persist if they are replaced in kind.

Thanks,
Terry

We are just about 2 weeks out from a new clip with thicker tabs and a softer more resilient plastic. For now I would zip tie the clamp to the magnet and PM me your address. We will ship a new clamp as soon as the new version arrives.

Roger,

I've been bad and superglued everything together. I wouldn't expect you to replace them considering.

Will you be able to sell the mounting kit only (magnets + clamp)?

Thanks!

Yes, I could get you a pair of new magnets at a discount and I have generally found it is very easy to break the clip off the magnet. Just grab it at the base with a pair of pliers and twist them free. Old wet crazy glue doesn't hold that well usually.

I just started epoxying my nanostream brackets together right out of the box...don't figure I will ever want to get them apart again anyway...

Roger,

Will the new clamps be for sale right away or will it take a while to get to stores. I broke one of mine and it was totally my fault (stepped on it).

I was told they will ship to me late this week, it will take a week to get them about and another week to get to stores.
