FAQ

What is included in the KT Hardware Carbon Connection Parts Set?

The set is a complete installation kit for your carbon foil: Mast Plate to Board Set (4x M8-30 and 4x M8 T-nuts), Mast to Fuselage Bolt Set (3x M8x35), Fuselage-Wings Bolt Set (Front wing 2x M8x24, Back wing 2x M6x20), a Back Wing Full Shim Set from -2.5° to 3° with 12 shims, a 1° Mast Plate to Board shim, a T40 Torx wrench for M8, a T30 Torx wrench for M6, and a practical tool box.

Which KT Foils is the Carbon Connection Parts Set suitable for?

The set is designed for the assembly of KT Foiling components with a carbon fuselage and carbon mast, and contains all the screws and fasteners you need to fully assemble your carbon foil system.

What are the shims in the Carbon Hardware Set for?

With the Back Wing Full Shim Set (12 shims, range -2.5° to 3°), you can fine-tune the angle of attack of your back wing and adjust your foil to your riding style and the conditions. The additional 1° Mast Plate to Board shim allows for a targeted adjustment of the mast angle relative to the board.

What tools are required for assembly?

The appropriate Torx tools are already included: a T40 for the M8 screws and a T30 for the M6 screws. This allows you to assemble the mast, fuselage, and wings without additional tools and tighten them securely to the recommended torque.

Is the KT Carbon Hardware Set compatible with my current foil setup?

The set is designed for the KT Foiling rail system and fits KT front wings, back wings, fuselages, and masts from the corresponding carbon series. If you use all components from the KT Foiling range, you can use this set to fully screw together your foil.

When should I replace or supplement the hardware set?

Regularly check the screws for corrosion, thread wear, or damage, especially after use in salt water and before longer sessions. If the threads are worn, corrosion is visible, or after a hard impact, you should replace the affected screws or T-nuts promptly to ensure that your foil remains securely and vibration-free assembled.

How do I properly care for the carbon fasteners?

Rinse the screws and shims with fresh water after every session and let them dry to remove salt residue. Occasionally checking the threads and applying a thin layer of anti-seize film helps prevent galvanic corrosion and makes disassembly easier during travel or service work.

Is the set suitable as a travel or spare parts kit?

Yes, thanks to the compact tool box and complete screw set, the Carbon Connection Parts Set is ideal as a travel kit, workshop set, or training material for foil schools. This way, you always have the right screws and shims at hand during trips to the North and Baltic Seas, while downwinding, or on vacation.
