Nearly every part is available separately: https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/product/lines/ . Only the guylines (not the base and ridgelines) now have daisy-chains on the black (top) ends.

I've ordered 4 new feet (only really care about the ones on the ground) and 4 of the new connectors and a large zip bag (current bag is really tight with the webbing in there). I think it is great that we can update to the newer bits as this means our stands don't get outdated. It is also very wasteful of resources to be buying a whole new stand when you just want updated webbing or whatever. Kudos to you guys for making it so easy to update the bits we are keen on updating!
Is the feet price each, or for a set?

The new feet are completely custom molded, with an inner and outer part. They are designed to bear loads on their corners, unlike the former generic feet that were meant to bear loads on end. They are more durable, as some full-time users of the former feet found they would tear. They also are less likely to leave black marks on interior surfaces, and finally less liable to pick up mud.
They are sold separately, as our stocks aren't large enough to support mass conversions, while the minimum order quantity (for us) is high.

I've used my Tensa 4 for a few hundred hours of hanging (must be over 400 I think) and I've not actually needed my spare spring buttons (I have 4 of them). I have needed to change one of the feet though, it looked like the washer had cut through the rubber. I still have 4 spare spring buttons and 4 spare feet, once my new moulded feet arrive, I'll have 8 spare rubber feet.
Has anyone actually broken a spring button? I guess there is a worry that a pole could knock one out and then it could get lost. I mainly bought some spares because they are cheap and there is a delay for postage to get parts to New Zealand so it gives me peace of mind to have some spare bits on hand. Not every product you can buy in stores has parts available like the Tensa stand has, I prefer to deal with people like Latherdome that is working so hard to always give the best customer service possible. I'm always happy to recommend this stand to any motorcycle camper or car camper that wants to use a hammock anywhere or everywhere.
