st_lupo Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 This goes for everything! Took apart a pair of F2 Race Titanium bindings this last season to swap out some shims and discovered that half of the flange on one of the t-nuts had completely broken off.

I also rinse the outside sole of my shells at the end of the day if they've collected any dirt/salt/grime/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Happened to me once then I upgraded the stock bolts to stainless and coated the threads to prevent re-occurence. Hex heads are better than a phillips head. http://www.alpinecarving.com/parts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something else you can do is cap off the exposed metal parts of the t-nuts with silicone, to prevent the elements from getting to them.

Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 For replacement t-nuts, get Aircraft-grade Stainless, as it has to have a certain (not Chinese alchemy!) amount of Nickel IN it, not sprayed ON it. True too, with bolts, but, in this case, the T-nuts get the abuse of all the salts sweated from your stanky feet, plus what-ever puddles you walk thru. Chinese ignorance of established standards for manufacture have unintentionally caused many disasters, from little stuff like this, to the Oklahoma Mall Collapse in '86 ( where I was Very Aware of this while studying Architecture Design at that time! ). But, we buy this Crap all the time now. If Kissinger had only stayed home.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
