Radar Sequence plate mounting hardware.

[colo_skier]

Anybody know a good place to get the aluminium pedestals and nylon washers that the sequence plate uses?

 

Thanks.

@Colo_skier -Performance Ski in Orlando. They have everything! Ask for Bill or Danny.

@colo_skier I just picked some up at Performance a couple of weeks ago, so they have them in stock.

[colo_skier]

Thanks for the information, I think I can get them up in Denver also at Tommy's. I was really wondering if anybody had found them at any non-ski hardware place and should have clarified.

Just another way to go about it.

These are a fabulous idea @BraceMaker. They would allow for nylon washers up against the plate which would stop all the wear and galling of the stock setup.

Got rid of my sequence plate - but check these out too

Essentially you need 2 standard screws in middle, and 4 floating plate screws. I thought the Radar versions were a little too much gap, I get the concept of having space, but I figure it could be a snug screw with a slippery surface and still do the job.

I quit using the little stand off spacers, and just screw my plate down to the ski

@richarddoane did you encounter any adverse affects by just screwing the sequence plate down? I am going back to my sequence plate, but my mounting hardware disappeared out of the boathouse.

 

I'm using six washers under the plate and six finish washers above the plate. I don't have the horseshoe shaped rear plate either.

 

Thanks to anyone with answers!

What is the theory on the standoffs? I have them for my sequence plate but haven't used them.

They allow the ski to flex with out the restriction of the plate being secured tight to the ski

I posted this somewhere a number of years ago but can't find. Here we go again...

I think I tried to go with shoulder screws but for 8-32 thread they only have 3/16" should diameter. The Sequence Plate needs 1/4" should diameter.

Radar will ship your some right quick!

 

You really only need two pedestals and two nylon washers under the front flat top screws, and I have mine pretty loose. The middle screws can be flat top by themselves or flanged screws with the flanged washers, and the two rear screws are flanged and set into the rear overlay that is fluted. No washers really needed there either. I am not sure how pedestals would keep the rear overlay moving back and forth for flex. The gap in my overlay is too wide to function like the front screws.

 

If you don't have the rear overlay piece, that is going to have to come from a ski shop.

If you cut the excess aluminum from the plate the plate will not only flex more with the ski but the setup will be a lot lighter. Strategic cutting and Nascar lightening holes will do wonders. Now with a more flexible plate, the plate doesn't need to float and you can bolt it straight down to the ski. Forget the fancy accessories.

 

A G10 plate with the strategic cutting and Nascar lightening holes can be even lighter and softer.

@jipster43 - I use standoff's on the front holes, and then just the pad heads in the middle, and a HO style rear plate hold down and two screws in the rear, seems to be happy

@richarddoane Thanks Richard! Are you going to the last blast?

[RichardDoane]

nope, headed to Sacto for the Diablo Shores ProAm instead
