Nicotine Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Punched this out of my boot out of curiosity. Looks to me like this would not have spun in place and is certainly a viable t-nut for Fintec heels. Unfortunately, I'll need to find a SS t-nut with teeth to replace as this ones is not going to sit firmly in place any longer without spinning once I start torquing the screw in. Looking for some opinions please on the remainder of the existing t-nuts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I was asking myself the same question... I asked some friends riding Head boots with step in and they are using the stock Head nuts for several years without problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraph Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 the problems happen when a either they seize OR you over torque. Dr., I concur. I was okay on the install of the Intec heels, but when I needed to take them off I ended up having to drill them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 it's also note worthy to say that the same thing can happen with deeluxe boots if I remember correctly. this ****ing rain needs to stop on the east coast, killing me!
