Tape, felt tip marker, other ideas?

Hi Jeremy!
I use a black sharpie......just a line on each leg to get the correct height and a little arrow which lines up the correct orientation of the tom leg feet angle (my tom legs have those big Pearl isolation feet).
I write a number on each leg and the associated number on the tom bracket too.
It's very effective for setting up.

the excess after tightened down you have to curl it away from snagging or from fingers; Like you smartly have the excess 'curled' in toward the drum;
that excess issue I never liked sticking out all over
where ever on set- cymbal stand, cowbell stand, tt holder etc..
plus I need those hose clamps for cars

18 US$ for 3 memory lock plus 40 US$ shipping!!! Well my hose clamp, ugly as they may be cost me 75 cents.
Thank you for looking up though. But in truth what I need are the screws that hold the two pieces of the FT bracket together

The new Rogers mounts!
I had to do it - I love the Memriloc stuff but after 50 years, the floor tom legs no longer lock in place vertically due to the memory lock piece on the leg. So I found the new Rogers parts that retrofit and got six new brackets and six new hex legs. And they are a perfect fit! The new parts...

maybe not as heavy "old -growth steel"
as your old ones but nice that New Rogers is keeping old Rogers alive +/-where'd he get those I don't see them on webpage should be near 1st listed..

You could also use a snug O-ring. Removable and they leave no tape residue or marks.

Yes
New Bracket$ would solve no?
baby but new Philips screws that don't release are just a cover plate
and the release is now with the wing..
not shown or said is the hole where the Leg north-south goes thru for floor tom usage which I would have said in the title of the part
it's weird they don't say "for Floor tom" but
instead use word "bi-directional"..
whereas the old-style that cover plate held the leg it doesn't with zee new one
Rogers are as engineered as Chryslers once were..

My floor toms have no legs, so they can't run away unless something fails on the rack, and then there's bigger issues to worry about.

It's definitely a permanent fix. And one I will get to eventually.Yes

I spoke to Dave @ Dave's drumshop to order all new hardware (for FT but also Tom mounts and BD spurs.)

I use several different colors of electrical tape. I wrap a small piece around the leg, and another small piece of the same color on each mount.
I do the same for cymbal stands and tom holders on an as needed basis.
