20 bucks for Andre's time gladhanding customers over an underspecified 50 cent bolt?Same here. That’s why they changed the price from $279 to $299 IMO

20 bucks for Andre's time gladhanding customers over an underspecified 50 cent bolt?
So are they sending new buttons out to everyone that ordered a platform?
i already put an order in to McMaster Carr
Ok so is the moral of the story no mod putting in a versa button with a grade 8 bolt will work due to the design? It seems like that’s the consensus.
I just need to know if I should attempt to fix this or not even bother.

If that is the case then why isn't LWCG sending out an e-mail to all who purchased?That was my understanding. Not all of the 150 have shipped so they are fixing the ones that haven’t shipped first

I know I received a phone call from Andre yesterday, as did others. I believe @Nutterbuster received a call from Andre and he hadn't even reached out to them about the issue. My call was later in the evening so I would guess more calls will take place today. However, I would assume that if there are any platforms that hadn't shipped by the time this issue was discovered, they'll simply replace the bolt before shipping, thus no need for a phone call.If that is the case then why isn't LWCG sending out an e-mail to all who purchased?
If you put a bolt in a vise, you can still bend it. Drilling completely thru the post doesn't fix the issue of where & why the bolt is bending.I’m no engineer but my common sense would say this should be designed with drilling completely thru the post to spread the load & not have a single pt if contact be responsible for people’s safety
I hope they redesign the post

Single shear would even be fine. They don't have that though. it's a long skinny bolt loaded in bending. If you add a button it can become single shear.

I also don't see how for 300 bucks you cant get a versa button that doesn't have bolt threads exposed to your strap. Seems like something that could become and issue down the road wearing out your strap quicker. Cheap fix buying a new strap but seriously they invented the versa button and on there new stuff it seems like its an after thought.
I think this would have been better. Keep the gray area solid and then have the mounting hardware in the red square.

You got a pic?Well I received my platform today. Looks like the bolt on mine is bent right out of the box.. also noticed the hole wasn’t drilled center of the post. Closer to a third than center.... there is a large piece of material under the nut left from the water jetting that isn’t allowing the nut to lay flat or the bolt to Thread square to the post.
