Standing foot mod.

[Arthur1960]

I got some of these furniture bolt/pad things that had been recommended by another member on here and have fitted them to Sarah's feet for the first time. It seems to be an easier fix than the washers and does the same job. The back of the plastic pad is a dome shape so is easier on the tpe. They just replace the original bolts and seem to do a better job.

This looks interesting! How about wearing shoes these 'furniture bolt/pads'...? Any issues?

I have these available all the time here if anyone is interested...

They snap on over the M6 button head screws.
They're designed to swivel slightly to adjust with foot positions. Bottoms are flat to spread out the weight to avoid forming holes in socks.

Hi, I've had one of my gals standing with these for a couple of months wearing shoes without any issues. They are better then just using a plain washer as I did before.

Today I fitted some simple hinged screw/bolt caps to one of my gals feet, whilst the washers were ok, she is my heaviest at 44.5kg so the washers were beginning to leave a mark and I think I saw someone else on here mention these little caps. Time will tell whether they are strong enough but they certainly are a good fit and easier on the eye than having a metal washer. Also they are available in different colours so in this case, biege, works ok. Clearly they won't be as good as MF's tailor made bolt caps but I'm optimistic they will prove an effective way to protect the tpe surrounding the bolt and the good news is they only cost me £1.99 for 25 off eBay!

Those simple plastic hinged bolt/screw caps seem to be up to the job as I've had Celeste Elise standing in them for several days now and they have not cracked as yet and she's my heaviest gal at 44.9kg. So am now fitting them to my other gals starting with Shuri here, the handy thing is that they are available in different colours...
