Mechanical Help Needed RE: Fixin Korkers

[Redsoxticket]

If you already replaced the cleats with the exception of one then why go thru all that trouble of modifying the korkers. There were 24 cleats per foot, now 23 cleats no big loss. There are korkers with a lot less cleats.
I would bond the bad cleat with metal bonding cement or leave it as is. If you had a few more bad cleats then I would modify them.

Because we need to tinker..

I like tinkering too. It sometimes get me in trouble like when working on the car.

The korker mod was initially designed for the lace korkers with the snap in studs. The K5000 strap have the screw studs. What considerations would need to be made in regards to drilling (bit type, and which side do you start drilling) knowing there is a metal female socket in the korker.
