I've got odd legs(four) assuming they would fit Stringmaster but in fact they are too large.
The picture compares the leg(right) with Stringmaster's(left).
The leg is roughly measured as follows:
Outer pipe diameter Odd leg 1"
Stringmaster 7/8"
Thread diameter Odd leg 7/8"
Stringmaster 3/4"
Thread length Odd leg 3/4"
Stringmaster 9/16"
Overall length(when shortened): same as Stringmaster
What is this leg for? A custom pedal steel? How can I get the socket(flange) for it?

Jack that's probably a leg for a Fender 1000 __ the Fender pedal steel.
I have one, and the legs are larger than those for my Stringmaster.

Thanks Rick.
It's very likely since two of the legs have a ring attached to the inner shaft that may serve as a guide ring to attach the pedal rack.See pix below.
To make Rick's kind assessment doubly sure I would like other forumite who has Fender 1000
take a trouble of checking its leg, Baz perhaps?
FYI, they are very well made, high quality legs and heavier,2lbs/pc.
Thank you.

The threads on the Stringmaster and the Fender pedal range are identical sizes, what differs is the length of the thread and the shoulder to the leg.
The normal Stringmaster legs WON'T fit a fender pedal steel because the thread isn't long enough, Likewise the Fender 1000, 400, 2000, 800 and PS-210 legs whist interchangeable between the pedal guitars, have threads too long for the Stringmaster sockets. But can be worked around so as to fit.
AND Fender Rhodes legs for the Rhodes piano also work for the Stringmaster in most circumstances.
Below is the STRINGMASTER
And this below is a Fender pedal series
I know of no Fender guitar that uses 7/8" dia threads. |

Baz,
Thank you very much for your invaluable input.
BTW,the picture is found very creative for the shot of the thread with a colorful shirt and clean shaved chin as a back drop. 
Now it seems my odd legs have lost a body to support.
