Arrgh, my Intec heels broke my boots!

[Baka Dasai]

One of the four metal anchors that the Intec heels bolt into has pushed through the shell of my boots (Blax Stratos). Each anchor has a wide piece of metal that sits in an indentation on the inside of the boot shell, and prevents the anchor from being pulled through the shell. That wide piece of metal has sheared off.

I think I already know the answer to this, but is it safe to ride an Intec heel piece that's only got three bolts to hold it in place?

The boots are in their fourth season, so I guess it's time for a new pair.

You can see the inside of the boot, and how one of the anchors is missing the wide piece of metal that prevents it being pulled through.

This photo shows the outside of the boot, with the anchor partially pulled through.

Baka...
can't you punch the broken insert up thru and insert a new one.
When I bought my new intecs they came with replacement
inserts ..I suppose in case the old ones were rusted etc.
If you need one I have spares cause I never used them

I just rummaged through my box of spare parts, and found some replacement inserts. They're a completely different design to the original inserts, but they should work. Thanks!
