Ground Industries Parts (plates and cubes)

Anyone have any GI anti-friction plates and / or two # 3 cubes (new style) that they don't need? One of my plates is totally messed up and others could use replacing.

I'm looking for a minimum of two and I'll take 8-10 plates if you've got them.

I've been working with Kent for months on this and he sent an email the other day saying he can't get the parts from GI so I'm hoping someone out there has what I need.

Depower Quiver: 14m Gin Eskimo, 10m Gin Eskimo III, 6m Gin Yeti, 4.5m Gin Yeti (custom bridle and mixer)
Fixed Bridle Quiver: MAC Bego 400, JOJO ET Instinct 2.5 & 5.5, Lil Devil 1.5, Sting 1.2
Rides: Ground Industries

I HAVE RUN WITHOUT PLATES FOR some TIME NOW And really can't notice much. but i do run 6/7 cube # so its stiff with a little shake. king pins are still solid. i tried replacing once ...that was a zero.
just let em go. the cubes eventually tear and crumble inside roughly about 800-1000 hours. seemed tidy when they're good but no way could i keep up with the wear!

I do have king pins in stock and some trucks and a few complete boards in stock. Hopefully GI will get their issues sorted out and start producing product again soon.

Happy Winds!

Dirt Dave doesn't have any plates. I checked with him last night while we were emailing back and forth about other stuff.

Thanks Sam. I sent DD a PM but hadn't heard back. Now I guess I know what his response will be.

If you find any please let me know. Those things are elusive. But you are the king of internet searches and I know you will take this as a challenge and likely prevail yet again.

You go Sam!
