Slik D2 tripod spares? (1 Viewer)

Hi
can anybody help me please. I use a Slik D2 tripod, which I really like and it's a bit like Trigger's broom with bits replaced on it over the years. However it is now in need of a new set of legs (a bit like me) as the threads are shot and it tends to slowly sink on one of them.
I always used to get spares from Aico International in Newbury, but I can now only find ancient internet links for them. Can anyone help updated info or with a new supplier of Slik spares please?
 
Heard back from them today and they advised that the parts for this tripod are no longer available. Any other ideas please? Otherwise its looking like a new tripod sadly. It's not the money, I'm just attached to my old D2.

Are the legs interchangeable with the Slik Classic? My Slik has fallen apart and I've replaced it - I'd be happy to pass on the legs if they are any use?

Many thanks for your kind offer Helen. I will contact you privately soon.
