TJR Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) Putting a set of Finteks on a pair of UPZ RC10 boots and in need of a few of these… just two of those nuts, seem to have some rust and are worn. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you- J Edited March 28 by TJR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Hardware store will have them. I always get stainless steel to avoid rusting. Sometimes the store will only have SAE instead of metric, so close enough will work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPZ North America Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I believe we and many others have an overload of those from Intecs. How soon do you need them? Unable to ship them until next week but they’d be free of charge for you. A day earlier, you’d be all set. Darn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) That was quick! Thank you Dredman the recommendations. UPZ- If you could float me a 4(2 of the full round and 2 of the 2/3 round)that would be fantastic! I’ll PM you my address. Thanks again- J Edited March 28 by TJR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 My memory is they are a 5 mm metric T nut. And replace both nuts and screws with stainless is the way to go. That way if you can't get the metric thread your screw and nut will match. Having had the same corrosion problem and the odd screw fail I now check them before each season starts.

Pat Donnelly Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) I’ll second using stainless M5 over Phillips head screws, be careful not to over tighten. Apply some loc-title or Teflon tape to the screw threads. http://www.alpinecarving.com/parts.html I had to drill out a few screws from a pair of my boots once and I vowed never again.
