Wanted: Camelot lobes only

Does anyone know where I could find just the Camelot lobes? I tried calling BD directly and they don't sell them. I was hoping to find them to implement as part of my van build (to swing around a pivot to hold drawers closed when driving).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Black Diamond reps normally have them at outdoor events as keychains.... and that's all the insight I have.

Go to a consigned gear shop and pick up old cams for cheap, then (it pains me to say this) tear them apart. 

I used some as handles in my van, I got them by posting on here looking for unusable cams and tearing them apart. I was able to get a couple rusted #3s for really cheap. The axles were all rusted out, but the aluminum lobes looked fine.

Rusted out? You're supposed to soak the entire cam in some kinda lemon juice vinegar solution for a few days and bam, good as new

I got them for super cheap, cut them up, and used them for what I had intended. My goal wasn't to restore questionable pieces when I already have plenty in that size, my goal was to get crappy cams for cheap to cut up and use in a project.

I have an old .75 no trigger you cam have

It's in reference to someone on mp who tried this to clean them and the trigger wire dissolved.

Not sure if that's supposed to be a pun or is just a typo...

Ah, gotcha. I must've missed that thread, what a loss. ;-)

Sounds like a great non-vertical project! I have a set of fully-functional old-style Camalots for $20 each, #0.5 to #3.0 if you're not looking for freebies. They need to be re-slung but that wouldn't be an issue for you.

If he doesn’t take them. I will.
