I posted a pic of mine when putting in the wearbars... just get some stainless washers, a bit bigger than the ones I have pictured. It will keep the spikes from leaning over...








TIPS: The wearbars hold better in the felt than in the rubber receivers.
* DO NOT over-tighten initially.
* when putting them in, use washers similar in size to those that come with korker spikes
*Use a marine-epoxy... dip the threads in it and then screw them in.
*24 per foot... I ordered 2 sets and did more... the more the merrier.
*Enjoy never using korkers again!!!


(there should be a "wearbars" thread... this always comes up...)
Using the same boots. 24 per boot. Wore them all Fall at the Canal. No issues and they are lite as a feather.

No boat, back in the suds.
