Does anyone know where I can purchase a Connector for my main straight shaft ? I think I'm missing something as it won't lock. Thanks, marchas

You are missing the small friction button. Make sure when you install the new one that the tit (for lack of a better word) on the button faces towards the armcuff/handle. So, install the ring, then the button, then the camlock body. Rough up the mating surfaces of the ring and body slightly, and glue together using super glue. Be careful not to get any glue down inside the camlock body or you'll glue the whole works together. Better to apply the glue to the ring, hold the shaft vertical, and bring the camlock body down on top of the ring. Hold the 2 parts together as tightly as possible for a couple of minutes. The plastic that these are made from takes a bit of time to bond together. Good luck...
