Need Help with Case Feeder

[anonymouscuban]

Hey all,

So I have a Hornady Case Feeder. It's an older model. I'm missing the case feeder stand. This is the square tube that holds the hopper up, connected to the press.

So I got a replacement but it turns out that its for the newer models which don't sit as far back. Basically the stand isn't angled back far enough. Waiting for Hornady to call me back... they're checking to see if they can scrounge one up.

In the meantime, I want to figure out if I can jerry rig something in case they don't have one.

Any suggestions?

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about.

I actually got it to work as-is. I added a gradual bend to the rigid tube that the cases drop into and it works like a champ.

If your handy, you can make it out of stuff laying around.
