: Dave, Thanks for letting me try out your North Star. I too thought was fun to
: see and meet everyone. It was great to try a design before making a
: decision on building. Can you refresh my memory ? What were the footbraces
: you used on your kayak? Ben

I ordered them from a Walden Sports( www.waldensports.com ) dealers in my area, One from The Paddler's Shop at Rivendell, MA, one from, Sakonnett Boathouse, Tiverton, RI., ok, I ordered two, one for the next project. They are around $18.95 more or less tax from your area. RI is no sales tax. I have a Walden Passage which has this set-up so I ordered two sets of pegs for a passage. Great for on the fly adjustments as the straps are with-in easy reach. I attached them first by a block of plywood 1/2 in. with t-nuts(stainless steel),Then I drill over sized through the first partion of plastic and drilled the second partion of plastic to the same as the t-nut and screw. This needs to be done so the unit will flush out and still slide. The plywood was epoxyed and glassed before mounting. I did not use any mounting hardware supplied but matched a ss bolt to the t-nut(washer optional). There is also a strap supplied for a back band but I did not need it as the seat is a Joe Greenly (sp?) special. Highly recommended by the way.
Well worth the money as you can see. One size fits all!!!
Paddle on,
Dave
