Hmmm, a Tracker base might work. I've done the opposite - Tracker hanger in a Gullwing baseplate. Those Gull composite baseplates hold up pretty good though. I might have one kickin' around, let me look for ya'.

Same here. 9 years ago, I was running 129mm B2 hangers on old SuperPro III baseplates on my slalom board, because I didn't want to redrill my deck, and the B2 plates were new school only...

Re: Alternative baseplates for vintage Gullwing Phoenix??
I do not know for sure. I only have one set of the 80's phoenix, and that was simply for the sake of having them. Normally, the Pros are what I ride, unless we are talking old stuff (split axles and the original phoenix).
But, I will investigate to see. the hanger angle is much steeper, and I know the phoenix and pro do not interchange.
Pros and Trackers will interchange, adequately well, but you have to make sure of the pivot bushing depth.
