    Before I started doing a lot of pairs of skates for myself and other people I would just go to Ace Hardware. Then I realized that it was not exactly cost effective and purchased a ton from an online retailer. It is not that difficult, I would just take your time and be sure to line up everything properly. If you cannot find the hardware anywhere near you I can sell you some of mine for pretty cheap.

    Thanks Travis!

    To prevent the T-Nuts from spinning I will put my hand in the boot and apply a bunch of pressure to the T-Nut. I always clip the prongs with a pair of sidecutters. I think it helps prevent spinning because the edges are much sharper and allows the T-Nut to grab the sole better.

    I did not use the 4th hole on the chassis because it was too close to the edge of the sole and I did not want to sacrifice proper alignment of the chassis to get all 4 bolted in. I did not want to pull the heel area out of shape or ruin the integrity of the boot as well in the proper position. The T-Nuts are strong enough to hold with only 3 and my old setup ran with only 3 on the back for over 5 years without issue.

    Thanks! They are T-Nuts. What exactly are the Graf scews?

    I love the way those One7's look, great skates! So my last re-conversion of the 1st gen 9K's with the Labeda Sensor chassis did not go well. I picked up some Bauer One6's and went with the good old Red Star E Frame. I love the skates, I baked them twice and the fit is amazing. Super light skates and felt great the first time out! Thanks to stock07 for trading wheels wtih me.

    I guess it depends on the thickness of the aluminum and how exactly it was manufactured. I used Red Star E Frames that are machined aluminum for over 7 years, taken countless shots off of them, and they have never come close to bending. Anyway I just recently converted my first generation 9K's from the Red Star E Frames to the Labeda Sensor. I was not too happy with the performance of the conversion, personally love the traditional hi-lo setup too much, so I am going to be getting rid of my old setup. I just picked up some Bauer one.6 skates and will be using the Red Star E Frames again. I have baked the skates twice and the fit feels great, super pumped to convert them and skate! Sneak Peek

    They are Labeda Dynasty. Nice looking skates, what model Vapor are they?

    I am using stainless steel 8-32 pan, allen head screws, lock washers, and T-Nuts.

    Picked up my chassis from the powder coater yesterday and finshed up the install on the boots. Just waiting for my wheels and laces to come in, they should be here by the end of next week.

    Thanks Shark! I am blacking out the green accents on the skate and had that chassis powder coated all black. I almost had the chassis powder coated lime green, but figured it would be too obnoxious. Ebondo that picture was from like a year or two into owning the skates, they are more beat up now. I used to skate twice a week, but have not played much in the past year since having my second kid. Looking to start skating regularly again this coming year!

    This is the setup I have been running for the past 4 years. I am switching the Red Star E Frame out for the Labeda Sensor and I will also be trying the Revision Variant Plus Wheels this go around. Right now the E Frames are off the boots, old T-Bolt holes have been epoxied, and mock up of new chassis is in progress. I have to pick up my freshly powder coated Sensor (Yes, I have 2 pairs of Sensors ) chassis this week. I will post pics when I get everything together, it should look pretty hot.
