no that was my problem so i replaced all 4 keeping the three original feet as spares. The eyelet rivets are original though i carefully teased them out using long nosed pliers. to refit i bought a small g clamp knocked the top of the screw and then used the ball on the screw as i wound it closed to spread the rivet. |

Youu may find this place does smaller size feet, sadly not in red- Ive asked, as has MamodFan I believe.
