I haven't done anything on the 9W for a while but one thing I need to do before taking it out in two weeks is, I need to machine 6 cleats that go on the bottom of the shoes. I scanned a drawing and they can be seen in black on the drawings. These little Vee's will enable the machine to walk better with some traction. What happens now is, it will either just slip or pivot around the other one getting a little more traction. This is very frustrating when on any kind of incline especially. Just ask Scot and Ed.
