I have put a set of Dagger Centrifuge thigh braces in my Dagger 
Cortez.   And vice versa

I lost 30 lbs and the old Cortez braces did not fit.  I tried Dagger 
Redline, Animas, rpm MAX, and Centrifuge thigh braces in the Cortez.  
The cut of the Centrifuge was the closest.  I then used a dremel drill 
bit to whittle them down even more till the fit was just right. 

Placed the Cortez braces in the Centrifuge.  It is a scout boat so it 
will fit somebody.

Safe Paddling
