I haven't seen either make in the UK but your Quantaray head looks
suspiciously like the one on my little Stitz tripod, also plastic - and with
a broken clamp. At the other end of the centre column on mine there is a
removable rubber plug and you can see just how thin the material of the
column is. With the plug removed the column pulls out and can be re-inserted
upside down, so there's no need to saw off the head stud.
The only solution that comes to mind is to fit a wooden plug into the
column, drilled and tapped to take a 1/4" threaded spindle to fit the Bogen
head to. If it's as lightly made as my Stitz though, a heavy head would make
the tripod very whippy. As it is, I've never used any camera heavier than my
35RC on it (Oly content!)
