Those are beautiful, but I need ones in a U or O-shape, as I have two half broken decks that need the lateral support.
Also, they cost over $20 a set pre shipping, which is ok if you want to put them on just one fancy board. But for 5 decks it gets pricey.
Btw, where do you get the clamps for the short moon motor mounting plates?
OK. Yup.
Like this, but cheaper?
Clamps depend on trucksā¦ LRdesigns for surfrods RKP / TKP
Precisely.
I could just bite the bullet and order those.
But I felt like the there should be a budget friendly option, too.
Are there any for boring old calibers?
Definitely interested in this; every switchblade owner would benefit from a set 
Not sure
On the one hand this is terribly vague.
But on the other hand If moon canāt find it chances are nobody can.
@moon youāre a legand man.
I meant that I dont know anyone who makes good clamps for 46mm bolt pattern. I donāt make caliber clamps
I would definitely buy a few sets of those brackets at a good price. Nice one @PrivacyDoctor @dickyho 
I think $25 for the pair of Riptide plates is fair, I think I might just pick up a pair to see.
redacted
I think theyāre like 25 bones a piece
Fair is relative. Would you put $25 brackets on a deck worth $50?
I have not ordered @RipTideSports, $25 is for the pair, right? For a USA made part thatās very reasonable. Cost of living is out of control hereš
@PrivacyDoctor maybe not, but I really donāt like the $50 decks either, lol. I love the feel of quality in a good skate parts, but I agree itās relative 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm well, I have to redact my original, commentā¦ I read way down in the small print and agree 100%
Iāll definitely buy from @RipTideSports and Brad for a made in USA product for 2 backing plates!
Me too, Me too! I just get most my parts used. Paid for a Bustin Sportster deck $50 for example.
Donāt get me wrong, I will get some of those from RipTide for my nicer decks, but I think there should also be a cheaper option on the market. Different products, different uses.
make them yourself with a hand-grinder and a file, then tell me if theyāre not worth $12.50 Eachā¦ pffffft
Thatās pretty much what I did (see further up in thread)
When the deck wears out, put the plates on the next deck, they last indefinitely.
If we already have @RipTideSports tagged here, may I ask if these work with Caliber II, Torqueboards 218 and Gullwing Sidewinder trucks?
They work with virtually all trucks but a thick deck can sometimes cause hanger bite.
