Memory Locks for BA-TB

If you look at the photo (or the actual part in person), there is a notch in the plastic similar to the notch used for memory locks anywhere else on Sonor hardware. In fact, I can't thunk of any other reason for the notch. But, I haven't seen any Sonor memory locks with this small of a diameter, but maybe I am missing something. The slides into the 3/4" pipe, so the 19mm will not work.
Does anyone have any insight?

I wondered about this a few years ago and asked Sam I Am if they existed and he said no.

They must have planned to make them, just couldn't justify the tooling I assume.

Anyone put a caliper on the upper tube part of that assembly (the 190 243 01 part) to get the exact measurement?
I don't have that assembly, so I can can't check it myself.
There may be another company's memory locks that might work.

Only because it's been confirmed that Sonor doesn't have the solution...

My hardware case is long enough that I don't have to shorten the boom arms when I tear down, so I don't need memory locks on them.

Same. I was thinking more in terms of safeties. They tighten firmly , but I have trust issues. lol

Jules - you are a bad influence... I just ordered 2 of these over the weekend, so I'll check with my caliper when they come in.
FYI - I was planning on getting some anyways, this discussion just prompted me to bump them up on my priorities/timeframe...

I have four of them on my rig. I am always happy to trigger new Sonor purchases!!!
