Randal Baseplates...

**Michael Billings** · 11-18-2004 03:36 PM

I recently got some Randal 180s and the baseplates are so off you can see it without measuring. Will Randal stand behind his product?

What part is off? I know the mounting holes are off and you have to drill them out but if its something else, fire off an angered email.

Ummm, the kingpin 'hole' is off... It is so off that when I tried to put the kingpin on the other way (nut on top) I had about an inch of space because the bolt head was touching the baseplate...

That's crazy shizat, that DESERVES an answer. Send an email, with pictures if possible.

Da. You ist postingk pictures here also, comrade.

all randal baseplates are messed up. Ive never seen a perfect one, Jimz is making a baseplate that should solve that problem.

....at great expense.

**CRASS** · 11-19-2004 12:30 PM

Haha, yeas seriously.

Hey, my baseplates are practically perfect though.. so sit on that & spin.

**Michael Billings** · 11-19-2004 03:41 PM

I will get pictures asap and Randal is being awesome about the problem...

**Rustyfriend** · 11-19-2004 04:27 PM

mine was like that tooo, you can't reverse the kingpin but o well....with the nut on botum it is less likely to strip and i can swap out pins w/o removing the trucks....and ow i got my new homemade speed board.....it is mad low, only 1/2" higher than a landy dh....and you don't have to worry about getting that swing putting you into a slide

**Michael Billings** · 11-19-2004 04:44 PM

But that obviously means the trucks are off, which probably explains why my board is 'twisted'.

**Rustyfriend** · 11-19-2004 07:29 PM

yea, that would also explain why the board turns to one side

**L3aping L3m0n** · 11-19-2004 07:52 PM

Did anyone ever stop to think that every single other truck baseplate and deck was drilled wrong? huh? HUH? dont immediatly insult the randals ma'an!

*puff*

**Rustyfriend** · 11-19-2004 07:54 PM

i dont think you noticed the "puff" at the end of his post

mine fit fine and i didnt drill them out. it took a little work to get them on but if you have longer hardware its easier
