Keen to try and sail some waves tomorrow... but 1 problem. The fin bolts/ nuts for my fins are all threaded from corrosion.
Looks like the only place I could get replacemens would be windsurf n snow, which is quite far north.
Does anyone have any other suggestions where I can get these, or even what else might work as an alternative? I am thinking Bunnings/ some kind of washer system... which might be hard to unscrew lol.
Also any suggestions for spots tomorrow??

Forget Bunnings, most marine shops will have what you need.
There is a marine shop on the Princes Hwy Carlton just south of Red Rooster, can't remember its name but I buy all my footstrap self-tappers there
just remembered - Bias Boating
Ok just had a realization, the US fin box is also used on SUPs. So logically if I can find a SUP shop it should have the same screw and nut???
Most surf shops should have them these days. Plenty of long boats using us base fins. FCS sell them with fcs heads on them which I'd pretty handy.
