ARMSTRONG TITANIUM HARDWARE & SPARE PARTS
Precision • Reliability • Longevity
Every Armstrong foil is engineered as a complete performance system. While the front foil, mast and board receive most of the attention, the small components holding everything together are equally critical.
The Armstrong Titanium Hardware & Spare Parts range is designed to maintain the integrity of your equipment, ensuring every session is as safe and reliable as the first.
Whether you're replacing worn fasteners, building a second setup or keeping essential spares for travel, genuine Armstrong hardware provides the precision fit and corrosion resistance expected from a premium foil system.
What this product is for.

Why Genuine Hardware Matters
Modern foil systems operate under extremely high loads.
Even small amounts of movement between components can affect performance, increase wear or damage expensive equipment.
Using genuine Armstrong hardware ensures:
- Correct bolt length
- Proper thread engagement
- Accurate tolerances
- Reliable clamping force
- Full compatibility with Armstrong components
It's a small investment that protects a much larger one.
Why Titanium?
Armstrong uses marine-grade titanium because it offers an exceptional combination of strength, durability and corrosion resistance.
Compared with standard stainless steel, titanium provides several advantages for marine environments:
- Outstanding resistance to saltwater corrosion
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Long service life
- Reduced risk of seized fasteners
- Excellent reliability for frequent assembly and disassembly
For riders who regularly foil in saltwater, these qualities make a noticeable difference over time.
Available Hardware
Depending on your setup and maintenance needs, Armstrong offers a range of replacement components, including:
- Titanium mounting bolts
- T-nuts
- Washers
- Foil assembly hardware
- Replacement screws
- Mast mounting hardware
- Spare small parts for compatible Armstrong systems
Availability may vary depending on the latest Armstrong product range.
Essential Spare Parts to Carry
We always recommend keeping a small emergency hardware kit in your vehicle or travel bag.
Our essentials include:
✓ Complete set of mounting bolts
✓ Spare T-nuts
✓ Replacement washers
✓ Multi-tool or hex keys
✓ Waterproof grease or anti-seize compound (where appropriate)
These items take up very little space but can save an entire session if a component is misplaced or damaged.
Maintenance Tips
A few minutes of maintenance dramatically extends the life of your equipment.
After each session:
- Rinse all hardware with fresh water.
- Allow components to dry before storage.
- Inspect bolts for wear or damage.
- Clean sand from threads before assembly.
- Tighten bolts evenly using the recommended torque.
- Replace damaged components immediately.
Regular maintenance keeps your foil quiet, secure and performing at its best.
Common Mistakes
Over-tightening Bolts
Applying excessive force can damage threads or make future disassembly difficult.
Always tighten according to Armstrong's recommendations.
Mixing Different Hardware
Using bolts of the wrong length or thread pitch can damage expensive components.
Always use hardware designed specifically for your Armstrong system.
Ignoring Corrosion
Although titanium is highly corrosion resistant, other metal components, sand and salt can still affect the system over time.
Routine cleaning is essential.
Travelling Without Spares
A single missing bolt can end a session before it begins.
Keeping a small spare kit is one of the simplest ways to avoid unnecessary frustration.
Real World Performance
Experience
We’ve assembled and serviced hundreds of Armstrong foil setups.
The difference between a well-maintained foil and one that’s neglected is immediately obvious—not only in reliability but also in how solid and quiet it feels on the water.
We encourage every customer to carry spare hardware. It weighs almost nothing, costs very little and has rescued countless sessions when a bolt or T-nut has been lost in the sand.
For anyone travelling with their gear, a small maintenance kit is every bit as important as a pump or leash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace all my bolts at the same time?
Not necessarily. Replace any component that shows wear, corrosion, damaged threads or deformation. Many riders also carry a complete spare set for travel or emergencies.
Can I use non-Armstrong bolts?
We strongly recommend using genuine Armstrong hardware. Correct dimensions and tolerances are essential for maintaining the safety and performance of the A+ System.
Should I lubricate titanium bolts?
Follow Armstrong’s current maintenance recommendations. Depending on the application and the materials involved, using an appropriate marine anti-seize compound can help prevent galling and make future removal easier.
