Plastic fastening material
Plastic mounting materials – lightweight, practical and corrosion-free.
This subcategory includes plastic components used for assembly and adjustment in rowing boats. From “shark-tooth” track clamps for steering bars to plastic wing nuts, sliding stoppers and heel rests – functional parts designed for reliability and easy maintenance.
What you’ll find here
- Track clamps and end caps – plastic “shark-tooth” or square-tooth versions for secure tiller bar fixation.
- Plastic nuts and wing nuts – lightweight and hand-friendly, some with brass inserts for extra strength.
- Sliding stoppers and deck bushings – prevent seat over-travel and provide a clean, finished appearance.
- Heel rests – nylon or composite versions for Empacher and Martinoli foot stretchers.
- Start number holders – durable plastic holders for quick mounting of race bow numbers.
Advantages of plastic fittings
- Completely corrosion-free – ideal for boats stored outdoors or used in salt water.
- Lightweight – reduces overall weight in steering and foot stretcher assemblies.
- Low-maintenance – no lubrication or rust protection required.
Use and application
These components are widely used in training and club boats, as well as in maintenance of racing shells. Plastic track clamps allow quick adjustment of the steering bar, while sliding stoppers and bushings fit standard rail systems.
