4 x 4 mounting plates for Burton

[1xsculler]

I need a pair of 4x4 mounting disks for Burton plate bindings and, if I remember correctly from years ago, there are at least two different diameter of disks available.  Can someone provide me info on that so I can buy the correct ones?

Unless you have very early (1993-1994) Burton plates, you should be able to use any newer Burton disc except those used on the Lil' kid's bindings.

The ones you want are 4" across, and there's even the 'unidisk' that fits (with limited hole-sets) both 3-D + 4x4 inserts. A 'regular' 4x4 disc should have four oval slots, giving 5 positions to mount the disc to the board, so that's an inch of 'play' away from the insert's center-of-square. If you use a Burton cant at the rear, look for the oval slots to be arranged at 45 degrees, so that the disc can mount fore-aft along the board's centerline.

 

[ Just don't use the 2-slot type that's on channel boards, as those only allow for two screws (I don't trust this, btw, but it seems not to be a concern in the industry). ]

 

The little, older disc ('93+ Tot's model) measures only 3-3/8" across, and in 4x4, only had four holes, not extra space for moving the binding fore/aft.
