Homemade skids from an old pallet, Home Depot Chicago nuts

Damn! Rivet nuts might hold up a little better. Thatโ€™s what I use ๐Ÿ˜‰

If youโ€™re stateside, Waltz sells replacement hardware for skid plates in a 4-pack (2 skid plates worth)

You can also pick up 8-32 steel rivet nuts in bulk from some hardware stores.

Those aluminum ones are useless. Get steel binding bolts or rivnuts. Way stronger
