I've got a Yamaha BCA kit with YESS mounts from 1999 (I think) and one of the three allen/hex key heads screws underneath one of the tom holders has stripped out. As such, it doesn't hold its position as well as it should when tightened and I want to replace it. Yamaha sells them almost anywhere where their instruments are sold.
But looking at the catalog from that time period, the tom holder was labeled TH945A. But searching for that part number comes up with stuff in Malaysia and older stuff on various sites like Reverb and eBay. That number doesn't appear to exist on the Yamaha website or in more recent catalogs now. There is a TH945B which is on all their kits and the part(s) looks exactly the same. (For the record, I don't need the whole tom mounting assembly, which is what the TH945A or B is. I just need the CL-945B tom holder...I THINK.)
Hence my question(s): Is the CL-945B the direct replacement part I need to accomplish my needs? If it is, does anyone know why Yamaha switched from the "A" to the "B" in their nomenclature?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
