Just a heads up, the way this adaptor is designed all the vertical loads come to bear on the very top forward corner of the foil head. I actually had that corner chip off the foil head before I realized what was going on. The foil will be okay but I had do something or it would just keep getting worse. I have read about people building spacers to solve the problem. I used packing tape and wax as a mold release on the foil head and filled the cavity in the adaptor with chopped carbon and epoxy. When I pushed the adaptor down the excess filler squeezed out of the holes on top. The next day I used a rubber mallet to hammer the adaptor lose and re-drilled the holes in the top. Perfect fit and the whole top of the foil head now bears the vertical loads.
Physics. All foils, where the front wing is forward of the strut, will want to rock forward. You can see this by mounting a deep-tuttle-top foil (preferable without a flange) loosely into the board (do use a leash just in case). Then foil it. You will see the front screw come up and the back screw press down.
Yep, had manufacture a spacer as well. And sand foil heads to make things fit.
i really think its something the foil and foilboard manufacturers need to work on, so there is a universal deep tuttle and deep tuttle head, with no ifs or buts about one deep tuttle foil fitting another board. All good and well having to sand a fin head to make it fit, when it's just side load. But there's a lot more dynamic load on a foil.
A foil that doesn't fit its box bang on isn't a good start. Its asking for things to break.
