Attention to design and detail is what sets Armstrong apart!  We committed to use the very best materials for each respective job, this is why we use Titanium and Stainless steel 316L for our hardware and fittings. Ultimate strength and no corrosion means your mast to board connection is dependable.

* We recommend changing out your screws annually as repeated use will eventually reduce their strength.

The post Foil Mount Stainless Steel Track-Nuts (Sold Individually) appeared first on Big Winds.

These are Replacement Titanium Track Nuts for use on any hydrofoil that uses the M8 or M6 mounting hardware like Slingshot, Lift, and others.

Why Titanium:

Titanium is highly valued for its high tensile strength, as well as its light weight, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It’s as strong as steel but 50% lighter giving it a greater Strength to Weight Ratio.

Titanium is the best material to resist the corrosion performance of seawater at room temperature, and it has excellent corrosion resistance even in polluted seawater and hot seawater. The unparalleled performance of titanium in marine settings has led engineers to refer to it as “ocean metal”. While other metals such as steel, copper, and brass are prone to pitting, crevice corrosion, and microbiologically influenced corrosion, titanium is unique in its resistance to the corroding effects of saltwater and the marine atmospheric environment.

Includes:

• 1 Titanium M8 or M6 Track Nut

Key Features:

• Precision CNC Machined to exacting tolerances for a precise finish
• Highly corrosion resistant for a long life
• As Strong as steel and 50% lighter
• Highest strength-to-weight ratio of all known metal

Kite includes:10 white ‘peel and stick’ Dacron rounds (1 7/8″ diameter)
10 black ‘peel and stick’ Dacron rounds (1 7/8″ diameter)
5 99% alcohol wipes

Leading edge and strut sleeve repairs: Fix small holes that aren’t structural. Recommended to place one round behind the fabric and one round on the outside. A little bit of heat will help set the adhesive. PRO TIP – use magic markers to color the white Dacron to match your canopy color.

Canopy repairs: Fix small holes and tears in the canopy. Recommended to sandwich the damage by putting a round on each side of the canopy. If the tear is longer than 1 1/2″ you can use several rounds on a single tear. PRO TIP – use magic markers to color the white Dacron to match your canopy color.

Bladder repairs: Out of desperation (aren’t we all desperate when it’s windy) we’ve used the Dacron rounds to patch holes in leaking bladders and they worked.
