Replacement buckles for all models and all years for older Nordica Speedmachine ski boots manufactured before 2011. These buckles fit in exactly the same way with a double screw attachment via the screw rivets provided.
! Compatibility Notice
Please note that although the buckles pictured may look slightly different to the ones on your boots they will fit in exactly the same way. Nordica produce a couple of variations but we only stock one style to simplify the process.
How to identify the correct buckle
If you count the buckle closest to the toe of the boot as the "Toe Buckle" the next buckle up is the "Instep Buckle", Next upwards is the "Lower Cuff Buckle" and the last one is the "Upper Cuff Buckle". Nordica also change the angle of the buckle depending on whether it's on the left or right boot to improve aesthetics and make them easier to use so you will also need to select the correct side. Please note that on Speedmachine boots the toe and instep buckles are identical.
! Product Variation
Please note: The buckle supplied may differ in colour and style to the one in the image.
What we supply
The pack includes one buckle and a screw rivet attachment kit which comprises of two metric screws and two metric captive retaining nuts for the inside of the boot.
How to fit the buckle
The rivets holding the buckle are made of steel so remove using a steel drill with a diameter of around 6 to 8mm to gently drill off the heads of the rivets. You will need to take care the drill doesn't slip and make a hole in the boot and beware that the drill can grab the plate of the buckle and spin it so keep your fingers out of the way! Then push out the rest of the rivet through the shell to make way for the retaining nut. You will need to make the existing holes in the boot larger using a 5mm drill so the captive nuts will push into the holes in the shell. Then simply offer the new buckle up to the shell and screw together. Please note that on Nordica Speedmachine boots the rivets are quite tough and difficult to drill off, please ring us if you need further advice.
