As in to mount a chassis to a boot? They're generally held on with rivets, and require a stationary rivet press to install. By the time you buy the necessary tools, its probably cheaper to get them done at a shop if possible. If you're going to do it yourself, get copper rivets.

Do you mean t-nuts and screws to mount frames yourself? If so, you want to shop for 6/32 or 8/32 t-nuts with round head phillips screws. They often come in packs of 3-5. There's probably a thread on how to do it here someplace, maybe on the Sprung thread, but I don't know.

The reason why I'm not going to get a shop to do it is that my right foot pronates and the orthopedic guy I see wants to fiddle with the position of the frame to get it properly aligned under my foot. Once this is done I'll work out how to mount the frame using the bolts.

In my part of the world we don't have t-nuts so I'm looking to buy them online.

Sprungster - I'm seriously considering getting an A6 frame but I haven't seen any pics of the bottom of the frame and how much room one would have to redrill mounting holes when the frame is offset from the center. Have you come across this before and any words of advice as to how this would go with an A6 frame?

I ordered the t-nuts and screws I used for my skates here. My brother has ordered some kind of plastic sheets to fashion slide plates for his goalie pads as well from here. Service was great both times.

There is wider support in the front mount plate on Sprungs, and there is still room to skew the wheel line. Do you get them toed in or out? They'll probably relieve a bit of stress on your foot or feet.

I need to move them inwards. Hopefully just toeing them in by around 1/4 of an inch should do the trick. I have some old K2 motos that I skated on a while ago and when I put them on recently I felt like I was going to fall off the outside of them. However I don't pronate in these whereas my 9k's, which are aligned dead down the middle, lean inwards for me.

Having had some speed skating experience, it's a bit of piss off that inline hockey skate manufacturers don't account for alignment issues better. Something like 30% of the population suffer from foot problems and the ability to adjust the alignment of the frame to the boot would be a big help for a lot of people. Now that I know what to look for, it's amazing the number of people skating out there who don't know how bad their foot is out of alignment!

you can get away with Weld nuts from mcmasters, how ever they ned sum extra work or ele they wont bite into the sole, you need ot dremel a slot into the round base and bend it with a pair of pliers to create 2 teeth that will bite into the sole to prevent it from spinning as you tighten the screw

I used these to mount Sprungs on my Easton SE16's and they've held up great for the past few roller hockey sessions, skating at least once a week.

tee nuts without prongs

Just press down on them with your thumb while your screwing in the screw to help keep them from spinning, but even without pressing down on them, I don't think you'll have too much of a problem with the nuts spinning. Apply a drop or two of blue loc-tite on the screw and you'll be good to go.

I used t-nuts for mounting several pair of sprungs. Ive cut the prongs with a sidecutter (pictures) and on the t-nut leave a little prong that will delete any spinning if they tighten with the bolts.

I personally went with 8\32 instead of 6\32 a little beefier but still fitting in in the stock holes. And used a hex head instead of a screw driver head because if you ever have to remove the frames again and something is rusted or whatever the screw driver heads strip very easily and its almost impossible to turn as a head head its pretty much impossible to strip
