hey folks, i appreciate all the info on footpegs. it looks like i will purchase the al yakama rails, which seem to be everywhere execpt .. at my local shop, the sales fellow called the yakama distributer who claims yak stopped making them about 20 years ago. on the other hand, lots of you seem to know of them and indeed early on a fellow contacted me with some for sale. (Thanks Steve Freund,QCC Kayaks Kayaks Direct (888) 794-3887 http://www.qualitycomposites.com , i will probably be calling soon). Yet the yak rep makes me curious as to what's up? i tried to fine the yakama web site so that i could ask them directly, but i can't find it (must be search burn out or something). Barbara makes another good point that i should check with WS to see what they will offer... that's the plan for tomorrow... i'm not the type to fuss over this... but if they want to fix it, that might be a good solution (you see that i now prefer aluminum so that i can play corrosion games :>) how well do Bob's foam footpegs glued to the hull hold up to foot pressure? how much duty have they seen? and how hard do you push on them? it's interesting to see how much i can learn about footpegs. feet first, bliven ===================== From: Bob Denton >I have foam "foot pegs" in one of my Nordkapps and prefer it to the metal >ones. I used a multi pin tool to take the shape of the hull then cut >minicell to that shape and used 3M 5200 to glue em in. The "pegs' are about >10" long and 6 or 7 " wide. I've covered the business end with 3M antiskid. > *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jan 25 1999 - 16:33:40 PST
