Looking for an unknown piece of hardware
back in 85/86 my Caballero had a top metal piece for mounting trucks.
it was thin shaped like a riser pad, probably 1/16" took place of washers.
this was on the top of the deck, and the deck was mortised.
it kept the hardware from pulling through.
grip tape covered it.
Anyway it would'nt be hard to make, but though someone else may have had these.
Similar to this, but it was a plate mortised into the board, and was counter sunk for hardware.
a plate with bolts welded on to it would be kool to.
(bridge Bolt)

But not quite it.
they call them bridge bolts from what I find as the application is different.
I still have not found the plate, I'm thinking someone did this as a custom job.
I mean this looked just like a metal riser with counter sink holes.
I have this stuff I found in my garage, it's for mounting an upright air compressor to the concrete.
thought about making the plates with. A little heavy though.

no it wont really make it to much thinner, and with added metal bolted will reinforce, could even put some Gorilla glue there to help support.
Like I said I had a board back in the day that had this on it.
and it worked great
-1. Don't use countersunk bolts. Use the dome topped ones with Phillips or Allen key fitting that sit above the deck,
-2. If you want to use the countersunk fuckers place a flat washer between the bolt head and the deck and when tightened the washer will bend. It becomes difficult for the bolt to sink any further as the diameter/surface area of the washer is greater than the bolt head
P.S. Those sk8strips would be cool well placed at your local when said scooters arrive ;-)
I may end up doing just that, get a large washer and sink it a bit.
I like tinkering with stuff though. so just makes for a fun project.
thanks for the tip... WakeInFright,
And I may put some wood glue in the whole to help reinforce it.
