Mount the Poweriser footplate on the
Powerskips!
The Powerskips footplate and bindings are bad, but they are generally better
then most of the other stilts. I liked the footplate on my old Powerisers and I
heard that you could make a switch, so thats what I did.
First of all, I had to dismantle them.
When this is done, you have:
1 footplate with the front strap on it
1 strap
6 screws for attachment of the footplate
2 screws for the attachment of the loose strap
#NOTE: The two screws at the front are longer then the other 4 so don't mix them
up.
Next thing is to fit the footplate on the the Powerskips. There is a form under
the footplate to fix it. You should use this form but you have to grind of the
show ring because the metal plate doesn't have the same holes on Skips and
Risers. And you can see that I have scraped of on the bottom ring to make it
fit. You probably also have to scrape in the ring on the metal plate.
Next thing is to screw the plate on to the skips. As you can see below, the
holes doesn't fit. I solved this by scraping bigger holes in the middle(red
ring) and made the fit. The green and yellow rings, I drilled new holes and
screwed them together. Word of caution: We you drill the holes in the yellow
rings, be sure to look under the plate since the will be right under the pin
that holds together the stabiliser rods. There should be no problem, just be
careful. When you screw the plate, be sure to hold it down against the
metalplate.
When this is done, we drill holes in the side for the straps, screw the in
place....
...and done.
Took a tour on them after they were done and it work superb:D
