The Foil Drive M8 Locking T Nuts are a simple but very useful spare or replacement hardware item for riders using M8 mast plate bolts with a compatible Foil Drive Gen2 setup. They slide into your board’s mast tracks and can be locked into position once you have found the right mounting point, helping make repeat installation quicker, neater and more consistent. If you regularly remove your Foil Drive system for travel, cleaning, storage or swapping between boards, locking T nuts make day-to-day ownership much easier. Instead of loose track nuts moving around every time you fit the system, these help keep your preferred foil position ready for the next session. Who are they for? Choose the M8 Locking T Nuts if your board, foil or Foil Drive mounting setup uses M8 mast plate bolts. They are ideal as a replacement for lost, worn or corroded hardware, or as a spare set to keep in your Foil Drive kit bag. If your setup uses M6 bolts, you will need the Foil Drive M6 Locking T Nuts instead. If you are not sure which size you need, check the bolts currently used with your mast plate or contact us before ordering. Why choose these locking T nuts? Helps speed up repeated Foil Drive installation. Keeps your preferred mast track position easier to repeat. Useful for riders who remove their Foil Drive system between sessions. Made from 316 stainless steel for use around saltwater and freshwater foiling environments. A sensible spare part to keep in your hardware kit, especially when travelling. Key features explained Locking track design: Standard track nuts can slide around inside the foil box, which can make lining everything up fiddly. These locking T nuts are designed to stay in position once you have found the correct mounting point. M8 sizing: This version is for setups using M8 bolts. It is important to match your T nuts to the correct bolt size rather than forcing the wrong hardware. 316 stainless steel: Stainless hardware is important on foil and foil assist setups, where fittings are exposed to water, salt and regular load. Rinsing after use and checking hardware regularly is still recommended.
