In Response To: Boltless mounting (David Ross)

: What's the best way to mount the foot brace setup from Nick's Book? Is
: thickened epoxy on the rail enough? There isn't any real place to run
: bolts thru to secure it and a glass layup would interfere with the slide
: portion.

Thickened epoxy is sufficient. Sand the location first and weight/clamp it down securely while the resin sets up.
