Hello, I thought I would take a chance to see if anyone happens to have some Side mounting plates for Vintage Valje congas. I need six of them since the ones on my drum have been bent upwards by too much tension from a previous owner. Maybe someone has some? Anyway, thanks in advance for you time.

Hi.
I would try Ralph Flores' site :
http://www.resolutiondrums.com/parts.asp (Ralph is Tom Flores' son, the Valje founder and owner).
Browse through his site, you will find some spare parts to order, and you can send him an e-mail. He also does old-Valje repair.

Ralph Flores is indeed making replacement parts, including side plates, to original specifications.
You can also try the Vintage Conga Drum forum on Facebook, almost a sure thing that you will find some there.
Good luck.
