starcarver Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Someone on the forum just sold me a board with stripped inserts. I go on vacation today .....so I am screwed Is there any quick safe solution so I can use the set of inserts I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Tomorrow... tight time line!!! You could drill the holes out then put t-nuts through the base. Your carving so you'll be on the edges anyway. You could later on buy the inserts with p-tex on the base and put them in for a permanent fix. Good luck!

lonbordin Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Without bindings put the screw in the worst one. Can you get three full turns of engagement? If not... well I wouldn't risk it. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I see threads in your pics. Do you have longer screws ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Go to a ski shop. A real one. They can likely install a heli-coil in the stripped hole. Bring your base plates so that they can install them where you need them to make sure you are good to go. PS. I don't know if you have or not , but I would definitely try to let the seller make this right before publishing details on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcarver Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 the remaining threads starts about half way down. i guess a longer screw could work ...i have TD3's and the stander screws cant reach any thread. Home Depot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masahiko Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi , I repaired some insert using this -- http://www.recoilinserts.com/ It is not so difficult but quick . Learn and try it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcarver Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 thanks for the ideas guys. as for the seller ...it is physically to late for him to make this right as it was a time sensitive purchase. my vacation started two hours ago and now I am on the way to "home depot" instead of on the road to the mountains.... i am not mad at the seller, I made the choice not to buy a new board from a reputable dealer. we create our own destiny :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Home depot has a very limited selection of hardware. Lowes or even better Ace hardware will probably have some m6 screws. Stainless is not always available though. Where are you headed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Dahl Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Volkl Renn Tiger? Common issue, the threaded insert fix works best, and you'll be GTG fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn Poop Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 PS. I don't know if you have or not , but I would definitely try to let the seller make this right before publishing details on line. Too late for that. Also, the seller specifically stated that all inserts are good in the original ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
