SnoBear Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 So a quick question about setting up my new Intec heels. I have a pair of Raichle 125's, the directions indicate that I need to set t-nuts into the boot to accept the screws that came with the Intec's. I am mechanically inclined, but I am hesitant to mess around with setting the t-nuts when the original screws from the original heels seem to anchor the heels well. I don't want to mess around with safety, so any and all advice on mounting the Intec's would be appreciated!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfj04 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I don't know your specific model of boot, but are the T-nut's already installed in your boots? I ask because plain heel piece screws are usually larger than intec screws and do not fit into Intec heels. Regarless, you MUST T-nut the heels. You'll rip the heels right out of the boot if you do not have a set already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoBear Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Thanks, that's what I thought. Is there a guide to installation of T-nuts in boots (or in general)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just go ahead and use the included t-nuts that came with the intec heels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfj04 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 There should be an old post regarding installing them. Use the search function to look for it. If you can't find it, reply back and I'm certain someone will respond with directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
