I just had this problem! I took it to Ace hardware and the guys helped me out, big time. I have a PH-358 panhandle and the same piece fell of during a shoot into some brush and dirt outside.

We (they) fixed it using a #6 metric bolt and butterfly wing nut along with two grommets (3/8 ID and 5/8 OD). It worked perfectly! Not only does it hold the handle together but you can tighten or loosen the handle as well using the butterfly wing nut.

A quick release for the Vivitar V900 can be found at: http://www.tripodquickrelease.com/Vivitar_Quick_Releases.htm

SOURCE: I loaned out my Slik Universal U212 tripod. It was returned without the nut and clamping mechanism for the pan handle. Any idea where I might find replacements. Slik's site doesn't have them. Too

http://kenkooutlet.com sells the parts. Part diagrams are at http://www.thkphoto.com/support/SLIK_Parts_Diagrams/SLIK-U212DX.pdf.
