hey everyone, i just received my order of inserts and was wondering if any of you would be interested in purchasing my leftovers. they feature the following:
- 9mm in height
- 1/4-20 threads
- magnetized caps for easy locating
- $0.30 a piece
please send an e-mail if you're interested. thanks.
Would you ship to good old Europe, too?
Thanks,
Ralf
sure no problem. but keep in mind that the inserts have 1/4-20 threads.
Thanks. Unfortunately Snowboardmaterials sells only 7.5mm inserts so I was happy to find your offer. I think the thread size shouldn't be a problem, but anway: have you got some screws with heads large enough for the G3 left over, too?
I have 1/4-20 screws but the heads are actually too large for the G3 riser holes. You'll have to grind them down a little bit or drill out your riser. If you can't find 1/4-20 screws over there I'd be glad to stop by my local lumber store and see if they have any screws that will fit. Most of them are phillips style heads. However, they do have some hex heads but they're over $1.00 (US) a piece. Just let me know what length you're looking for and I'll dig around.
Well, I'm not sure whether I can get proper screws here. I don't know if the different metric system results in completely different diameters for the screws. If you say M6 won't fit the inserts I'd be happy to get fitting screws from you. Hex rocks ;-). How many inserts could/would you sell?
yeah M6 will not fit the 1/4-20 thread correctly. i just came back from the local store and they have do have hex screws that will fit the G3 riser. but the problem is that they're made from regular steel and not stainless steel. so they will rust. these are about $1.80 for a set of four.
they also have the flat and oval screws but those come with a phillips drive and will require modification to the screw heads (too big for the riser) or to your riser. these are about $1.00 for a set of four.
another option is to find them online some where.
i have about 300 inserts left so there's plenty available.
Ok, if the hex available are not stainless I'll try to find fitting screws here. I'd take 50 for a first. I'm wondering whether you'd want to sell me some other leftovers? I'm especially looking for UHMWPE or ABS sidewalls/tipspacer which I don't seem to find here.
50 sounds great. inserts are pretty much all i have available for sell. i just used up my last ABS/P-Tex sidewalls and tipspacer material for my last pair and will probably stop using them in the future. i think it may be possible to use extra base material for your tipspacers as well.
i do know that Kelvin has edges for sale, however.
if you still would like the inserts send me a PM or e-mail. we can set something up.
Thanks a lot! You've got mail!
Would these inserts work with look bindings?
i'm currently out of the inserts but i haven't had much luck finding 1/4-20 screws with the right heads that fit my looks. maybe with some modification of the toe piece there may be a chance that you could get a screw to fit nicely.
Our Department just got done with our annual hose testing. Several lengths of LDH were condemned. We identified the sections of the hose which appeared to have no leaks & salvaged them.
The hose is available for $1/ft plus you have to pay shipping from 83651.
It is reinforced rubber hose with a 5" diameter. It measure 8" when laid flat.
Please let me know (soon) if you'd like any & I'd be happy to distribute it. A small donation to hose-man's ski fund is not necessary but would be greatly appreciated.
PM me with your requests. Thanks.
Wow! That IS a good deal.... What a pity that I live oversea....
Hey hose-man, I just bought some hose that was condemned by my local fire dept. I was just wondering what type of testing you guys do to determine whether or not you should condemn a hose? Should I have any worries?
This large supply hose is used in 100' and 25' lengths at our dept. Hose is tested anually. The most common failure points on this type of hose is either at the coupling, or pin holes along it's length. The hoses are easily re-coupled so that doesn't condemn the hose, but the soaker hose effect of the pin holes is not repairable. The pieces I have are the good sections of hose between the soaker hose areas.
I'm affraid that the only way to tell if your hose has these pin holes is to clamp the ends & pressurize the section.
The hose weighs in at about 1.1 lbs per foot. So a 9 foot section would weigh about 10 lbs, plus about a pound of packing materials means shipping should be calculated for a package approx 12"x12"x12" weighing about 11 pounds, originating from zip 83651.
I went ahead and purchased a couple of 30' sections so that I would have some on hand for anyone who might need some in the future.
I'm sure the need will arise.
