24 7 Carbon Pole Pad

[superjetruss]

just got my x metal pole installed kit installed on my ski, but i ran into a slight problem. I have an old 24 7 carbon pole pad on my stock hand pole, and when i went to transfer this on my x metal pole, there are no mouting holes. I was thinking about drilling a hole through the tabs on the pole and bolt it in like stock style, but im afraid of cracking the tabs on the pole. Then I saw that warecraft factory makes on for the x metal pole, should i just get this one, or is there a way to mount my 24 7 pad wothout hacking it on!:banghead:

You need to cut the tabs flush with the pad, then drill and tap (lengthwise) to bolt the pad to it.

do you have to do this for any chinpad on the x pole?

SO even if I bought the watercraft factory pad, Id still have to do the same thing?? what size should I drill the hole in the pole out to??

Yes, you have to do this for a WCF pad too.

the pole requires a bit of customization for the pad... that way you can fit yours to it.. I assume

Speaking of chinpads....here's Wammer's new chin pad for the RRP. Pretty pricey!

I've got my OEM pad chopped down pretty heavily...still not real stoked with it

I just used 1/4-20 and stainless steel socket head cap screws.

Or use 6mm x 1.25 and keep it all metric. 6mm is a little smaller that 1/4 so not quite as big a hole in that small mounting tab.
