Yes
I managed to break the plastic around the hot shoe on my 430ex and have found guides online for replacing the feet, but cant find anywhere that sells them.

Anyone got any ideas or don this themselves?
 
Yup, dropped mine the day I bought it :(

I found spares on ebay, it was a pretty easy job to fix :)

As someone mentioned in one of my threads (about the 580exii hotshoe weather seal) you could try H. Lehmans, or AJ Johnstone and send them an email asking for a price for the spare part.

I'm never going near AJ Johnstone again for any repairs (they might be better when supplying parts) but when I sent a body in for an estimate and said I was in a bit of a hurry to get it working again they took an age to get the estimate to me. I phoned several times and e-mailed and they said "we'll get it to you by 12 noon" - it eventually arrived the next day. As it happened it wasn't an economical repair, but I felt it was really poor service and I won't be going back. I feel obligated to warn people of my experience. Maybe they considered me a captive customer as there aren't any other repair outfits (that I'm aware of) in central Scotland. But if (god forbid) I need any repairs or servicing I'll send it to Fixation as they've a stellar reputation, something I'm willing to pay for.
