Footstraps screws have always been hard to source the correct ones. They aren't a machine pitch but rather thread forming. I ended up ordering a couple hundred because I wanted them in Torx (this was before Starboard started selling them).
Thanks, lesson learnt i assumed they were a threaded insert, my local stores helped me out (thanks action sports and surf sail aus)- this size is apparently quite standard for windsurfing.
@waterlife do the helicoils just drop in and tension against the inside of the hole?
@king crash the fanatic are smaller (M6 i assume)
