What are those X things called - Order Form on post # 172

Ok cool any idea what they’re called

X-bolt is what Chris Chaput (Abec11) called them. Good luck finding them. I swear they’ve been out of stock for a decade :joy:

Might have better luck finding a “U-bolt”

Lol I’ll give up now then.

Hell, I can make you a set. They’ll just be raw aluminum though - I can’t anodize…yet.

hmmm what’s the point of having this “X” if the bolts are not permanently attached to them? Not using two tools to remove trucks would be awesome. just had to install the Shred Light brackets on three boards

These will allow you to torque the bolts without the heads sinking into the deck.

IMO, oversized washer. I would maybe put this on the top mounted drop through deck to cover the hole. Maybe :slight_smile:

That’s exactly what I did on my board. Top plate out of 3/16" aluminum to stiffen the drop-through and a 1/4" aluminum riser below. Resulting pocket provides a handy space for the battery meter.

These are basically the same thing. I use them on my board right now, they’ve lasted me over 4 years of use and make taking trucks off sooooo much easier.

Hey there…are you still up for making these? If so, how much would you charge?

Yeah, i can get you a set. Not sure on cost. Probably cheap though, maybe $15 for a set?

Awesome! I would like 2 set (4 total), raw is fine. I like the look better than just using a washer. let me know when you finalize design and production and I’ll paypal you (shipping in CA 92618)
