STEINBERGER L2 BASS PLUG-IN LEG REST
These are new replacement bayonet "pin & spring" style plug-in leg rests for early Steinberger L2 basses.
Leg rest is fabricated from black plexiglass for long-term durability, and were copied from an original leg rest by a custom plastics fabricator. The posts have been copied from an original leg rest as well, and are custom CNC milled from stainless steel. I'll also include two 1" x 4" strips of of adhesive backed material if the plain leg rest is too "slippery" for your tastes. One strip is an abrasive sand-paper like material, the other a textured non-abrasive vinyl. Attach whichever you prefer or leave it plain.
Not all Steinberger plug-in leg rests are interchangeable. These first version plug-in leg rests were found solely on the original L series basses. They are a "pin & spring" type of keyed attachment. Approximately the first 1500 or so instruments have this type of leg rest. The second version found on the final L2, first XL2 basses and GL guitars feature a ball bearing system. The earlier version that fits the slotted socket is the type for sale here. If you've lost yours and are unsure of which you require, the following picture should help:

Two major types of plug-in leg rest sockets
Inspect the socket on the bottom of your instrument. If it has a notch like the one on the left, this leg rest will fit yours. The pin lines up with the notch, the post is pushed all the way in, then rotated 180 degrees where it rests in a small indentation on the back side of the socket insert. I also have a few posts that fit the ball bearing socket on the right, so email me offline if you need one of those.
This is the first time new ones have been available in nearly 20 years. Once the factory changed to the folding type around '85 they stopped making new ones, and ran out of plug-in replacements a short time later. I've only custom ordered a single small batch of these posts - once they're gone they'll likely be gone for good. This may be your only chance to buy a long lost replacement for your trusty L2.
