RE: [Paddlewise] Foam Foot Pegs

Hi Bob,

I've never tried this so take it as what it is: a totally unproven, not
especially well thought out idea.

You could shape your minicell bulkhead pads (I'm assuming they are fairly
thick 3" or so) and then rout out an area an inch deep or so that could
accommodate a backing plate of thin aluminum and through-bolt as well as
5200 the whole assembly.  After the assembly is in place you could glue in a
piece of foam to cover the nuts and protect your feet.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Rob Cookson,
