Hi Steve
Collage park have very good system that we have used very successfully. They
use the Aircast Foam walkers and attach a socket adapter with pyramid to the
bottom.
This works extremely well, if you need any further info please e-mail me.
We have also made a system to walk AK's, and found this to be extremely
useful when trying to get insurance's to pay for more expensive components.
( We get those making the decisions to walk on the different components -
works every time !!! )
Best wishes
Gary Seaman
