What is this tent piece called?
I have a broken tent piece that I am trying to replace.
Does anyone know what this piece is called?
This piece forms the canopy of the tent and the poles go into the prongs displayed above. As you can see one of the prongs has become detached and is lost.
This is a piece to a Eureka tent. I could not find the model number on the tent perhaps due to the fact that the tent is 30+ years old and the model number tag has been ripped off.

Tent pole "fitting"
You can buy tent pole replacement fittings from sites like this one, but it's best to buy it from your tent manufacturer. Sometimes your only option is to buy a new complete pole set.
The fitting pictured would be a four-way crown fitting.

That is what the leading pole manufacturer DAC would call a 4-way EyePole hub. Here's a three-way version.
Unfortunately the plastic cap is missing so you can't see the branding. It's quite a specialised item and your only hope is to secure a spare from Eureka. Given the age I'd have thought your chances are slim, but it would be worth a try. If you can't locate the tent model, just send them your picture of the part.
Your only alternative would be to find some strong tubing of a similar diameter and bodge a repair.

I haven't seen a part like that in a tent before, but you might try calling it a boss or a hub. It might be located at the apex and take on that name.
