Anybody try or using this? Looks really efficient for those of us that need to break down their rig to fit in their cars.

That doesn't really look like it will save much time at all! I can't believe anyone would go to the expense of patenting this
-
So it just keeps bolts in place? I switch my bolts out for Phillips head #3's in M8 size and then put a little Teflon tape around the T nut and it stays in place or I shove some wax on each side of the T nut in the groove. The#3 Phillips head makes it way easier to tighten and loosen over the torque 40 and Allen key style heads.
-
yea i am switching from a tuttle to tracks soon and wanted a quick method to install the mast. i may try the teflon tape on the T nuts to see if they stay in place for quick installation.
-
My foil came with a T-handle style torx wrench. The “T” would hit the mast if you tired to spin it. Hated it so I bought a torx wrench with a screwdriver style handle...easy and quick to spin on/off the bolts.
-
Wow, that's pretty clever. i'm going to pick up a set. i wish they did something equally smart about 8mm tuttle bolts. Getting a M8 90mm stainless torx button head machine screw is not easy.
-
The pivoting head for those guys who shim their foils may be the best part about this. Evening the T nut pressure inside the tracks is pretty smart.

Did anyone else think that was Robby Naish talking in that video? No face was ever shown. Have to be neutral in the universally adapting business. Robby would patent it.

Hey!...had to go back, and re-listen...but now that you mention it...hmmm. :D
I'll have to go snoop around his boards next time I see him, because...if you ever saw his coffee can full of rusted nuts, bolts, washers, screws, spacers, paperclips, bobby-pins and whatever other assorted "mounting hardware"...he'd be one of the last you'd expect to have those "purity" nuts & bolt on one of his (personal) boards. LOL!! ;D ;D
-
thats not Dave D. Similar but not him. the demo board in the video was a slingshot, if that was Dave would have been one of his.
-
Very similar to Dave's voice but missing the SoCal voice cadence. Also Dave's hardware can is a rusty mismatch of semi stripped out allen and phillip heads...:). He swaps out setups so often, he give's zero f*cks. Just hammers ways with the impact drill. I swapped out my tuttle mount bolts for stainless steel hex heads long ago.
This is definitely a very creative solution to track mounts. The way they allow for shims and the bolts to line up is frick'in brilliant.
-
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a couple sets of their plate shims.
I have 2 sets of their 8mm t nuts and love them, on one of my boards the tracks are longboard style tracks and the thicker t nuts wouldn't fit, I was able to quickly file their t nuts down in width to fit.
