I used small SS washers in the rubber receiver areas, and larger washers directly into the felt.
This is my second go-around, and this system is definitely an improvement. The larger washers keep the spike straight, and prevent them from leaning over due to their larger surface area. Also, dip the threads in white MARINE epoxy (2-hour cure time) available at HD or lowes. I have been emaling Sam H at korkers for the last 2 years to make a better boot... one with receiver threads built directly into the sole... They simply dont think there is a need for the boot... Email the guy and speak your mind!
