My Dakine Foot Strap Install

[Darktower]

so decided to put dakine strap in for surf stance (and yes im goofy footed). i used 1" #10 washer tig welded to a 10/24 acorn nut as described in previous posts..... heated knife up with torch cut turf out...sanded roughed up washer and floor.....then epoxyed it with half marine epoxy and half plastic epoxy...all they had at lowes. anywho heres some pics should turf and install tomorrow :woot: :woot: :woot:

I'm looking to add one post turfing too so I'm curios as to how well the epoxy holds.

I used JB-Weld on my install and they're still holding tight.

 

[Darktower]

im curious too.........lol

 

[cambo au]

you will love the front strap i could never go back

 

[Darktower]

yeah i have problems staying in rear holds.....my feet always slip out so this should solve that

 

[Idok]

I epoxy mine in with west systems and either filler beads, or glass shredded up (if I dont have beads on hand)...typically I break the insert before the epoxy lets loose....

nice work Dark...

Looks good. I did the same install to my SJ, just not surf stance. I used 5200 and it has held up so far. Yours ought to be fine.

I know that stuff was awesome, but I never dreamed it would hold in this application... 3M rules

thats what i said...screws=waterlogged...i could care less at this point...my ski is roached..and it has 8 holes...even better...edit: actually 16 cause i moved them once already...

actually with the screws in there i dont think much water gets in...just dab a little silicon around the screw and you are good to go
