Water Craft Factory Foot-Hold install

[B-Roy]

Here is my progress on my 05 SJ for this weekend....:woot:

Removed all the mats/contact cement.

Removed rubber rail caps/ super glue by sanding.

Marked and cut out for the WCF foot holds. Filed the hole, so they fit snug and perfect. The right side scared me with the exhuast like that...( a very close fit, and this is my first time installing holds)

Thats all I have for now, my time is limited.

Next weekend I will glue/rivit them, than I am on hold until Christmas when I will than get my foam, and biaxial.

I went with black molded diamond for the turf.:biggthumpup:

Looking good!:cool2: What other mods are you gonna throw in?

Im worried about that exhaust pipe on mine since mine are so big and i made them myself.

Look's like your on the right track! good job so far:biggthumpup: Never had a problem with any install hitting the exhaust pipe aslong as you position them properly

Waking up with a cold/flu, I headed to the pharmacy to load up on drugs.

Feeling like ********, I started to make progress, slowly, but surely.

I pre-drilled the holds, and the rail to refoam.

I laid 3 thick beads of 5200 on the hull, than a bead on the hold itself. I rivited the holds in.

Wiped off any excess, and created a nice bead around the entire hold.

I also rivited/5200 the 4 holes which held the dash on...

These things are going nowhere.

I am now on hold until Wednesday when my foam/biaxial will arrive.

[waterfreak]

Your just about done!:biggthumpup: Now you'll be ready for some of this!

 

[GASGAS]

Nice job, what size rivits work best for you?

 

[Mike W]

Looking good. No worries with the 5200. That stuff will hold.
Those are the footholds I will be using. They look a littel different from the last WCF footholds i had on my square though. I guess they are an upgraded design.

 

[GASGAS]

So did you run out of gas or what? Where is the rest of your project?
I finished mine and love the footholds, Havn't done any crazy stuff yet, we are riding today and you never know! GitterDone!!!!!

nice! dont forget the girdled head! you dont wanna crack those new cylinders...... also, you should change the 3 b pipe bolts on the flange to OEM yami bolts. the bolts that fpp gives you arent stainless.

Thanks, I will do that for sure. What a joke. for 600 it should come stainless...thats kind of BS.:cool2:

Even better than that---get the bolts that parrdaddy sells for the B-Pipes.

Also...your cooling could be altered for a better situation.

Head > Bottom Of head pipe
Top of head pipe > T > Overboard/waterbox

 

[GASGAS]

How did you lay the turf for the footholds? Did you use heat and stretch it out? Did you use several pieces cut to fit? etc.
