tex1230 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Ok...who has 'em? None of my modern screws fit - I don't even know where to look for these. LeeW - you worked @ Mervyn - can you hook me up? Bryan - any chance? Just need 8 little screws and the asyms will ride again! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Lib ran 1/4-20 back then. Your standard M6 hardware definitely won't work, but (gently) try a US 1/4-20 and I bet you'll be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Correct, 1/4 -20 is what you need. Mike Olson tried to "Go American" but it cost them big time. Lots of damaged boards (even though it specified the bolt thread on the board) Nice try, but it wasn't worth trying to swim upstream. Hope your threads are ok? Off to the corner hard ware store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 yeah, they are correct -- 1/4-20 bolts. would be stable if you dont intent to do alot of tweaking, if you use the -blue- loctite. Also, you'll have to search for old bindings that will work on this board. i managed to get lucky and acquire/bought an old burton bindings with this particular hole pattern (before standarization of 4x4 hole). so good luck with those old bindings. as for mervin mfg, im SOL. They shut down their Seattle factory and relocated it to their Gnu factory in Port Angeles (apparently, quiksilver felt it was too expensive to maintain the factory in Seattle, which is true and shut it down accordingly). The staffs I knew were pretty much gone. The only staffs I know that still works with 'em is Mike Olson, Pete Saari and Steve Cobb. As for the rest, like I said, Im SOL. oldsnowboards, hello, buddy. i must say mervin mfg are -still- going American, by producing their products out in US, except for few other branches of business which are made in China. Not to mention woods from Canada, as well. Hence, my reasonings to stay "american" by buying stuffs from Mervin MFG, and Im seriously considering acquiring Donek race boards. -MAYBE- Lib Tech skis, or Donek skis, since I truly swear with my UPZ boots as in skiing boots. EDIT: well, from what i recall, those boards with the "flower" emboss pattern board were real bad in terms of delaminating. from what ive heard from old timers staffs, they said how they made board were really "home-brewed." For instance, if they need to heat up the metal to make 'em malleable, they used batteries for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 not stripped! it took me a long time to find the bindings, but it looks like i'll be all set once i find the bolts. thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Correct, 1/4 -20 is what you need. [...] Lots of damaged boards (even though it specified the bolt thread on the board) It's like people not reading instructions manual and complaining that things don't work.

LeeW Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 not stripped! it took me a long time to find the bindings, but it looks like i'll be all set once i find the bolts. thanks guys! i got my bolts from ace hardware, and it works fine. :) We gotta hook up and ride it sometimes this winter.

Love to hear more stores like this of their early days. The "Flower" pattern is said to be from an old plastic table cloth, like the red and white one Grandma used to have!! Good stuff. Ride on!

tex1230 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Lee- goofy Hope we can ride, but getting to colorado may not be in the cards this season (still hoping for SES but ECES looking much more likely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
