And here's why: I've dropped a 'snubber' in the form of a 6mm bolt into that space so that the front end of the ski is held in place whilst a 40mm screw is driven through to connect with the hub. All of these will be snap-on fixtures in the fulness of time, with IKEA eating their hearts out. Leaving the snubber in too will ensure you never have to ask your co-pilot for that HYDROSKI Severe Damage or Separation checklist.
