Today I needed to finish my center foot. I had the foot with the plates and 3" casters, but I didn't have any hardware.
Since its important to get the casters set in as far as possible, I got creative with my hardware set up.
I purchased all the screws I needed as well as a set of long nuts that can be threaded into on either end.
Since the nuts couldn't be found to the perfect size, I used a pipe cutter and tubing to create spacers.
The end result was nice. The caster plate sat flush against the bracket.
Once that was finished I fit my casters and got everything mounted. Of course things weren't perfect. I had to cut a little more off of my Foot shell to allow the casters to turn properly.
In the end I had to take it all apart again so that I could prime everything. I'll post pics again when I have the finished product attached to the ankle.
