dropthebody Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I blew out the riveted pivot on one of my boots. Anyone know if there are replacements or a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is "SES 2015" time and Bomber Store will be closed until it is over. You can order and get things rolling though. PS. I would buy two sets minimum. Bryan WE ARE AT SES ASPEN FROM FRI FEB 6TH UNTIL TUES FEB 17TH! ORDERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED DURING THIS TIME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Thanks Bryan, I didn't scroll down far enough earlier to see them. Are they hard to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks Bryan, I didn't scroll down far enough earlier to see them. Are they hard to install? No, with basic hand tool skills these can be installed pretty easily. Keep in mind, it is often removing the old ones that can get a bit tricky. There are TWO different items here. One is a fixed hinge point , the other is made to allow canting of the upper boot cuff. I don't think you are likely to have any difficulty. These are one of the items I strongly suggest any hardbooter with Raichle boots carry in their tool bag. Bolting the hinge with bolts and washers is an option with above average skills. Our BOL member "TrikerDad" made some machined parts for this that are outstanding. Have not heard from him in a while. They were never made in any volume.

(Yes, we do exist:-) ) Also if you're at SES, say HI to my friends Ron and Gloria from Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger jr Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hey John, Have you found parts yet? I'm looking to get a couple replacement sets also. I you haven't found any yet I will start looking. Oh and I have one for the adjuster side if you want it.

snowboardfast Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thank you for this info! i will de doing this to my boots as the stock screws tend to seize up and it is real easy to strip the heads as the hex head is very small. Not a problem wit UPZ as the bolt is bigger like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
