    Hi all, does anyone know what type of tool is needed to adjust the height of the rubber feet on the PedalTrain boards? I want to increase the angle/height, and they use some sort of odd, round screw. It doesn't take a regular Allen wrench. Thanks!

    It's a pop rivet. Good luck trying to take it out...I couldn't. You can buy a riser kit from Cioks. It raise it about half an inch. I had to buy it so my DC10 would fit under the board. Since I couldn't get the rivets out I placed the new feet right next to the old ones.

    Wow, Really!? Why would they make it close to impossible for such a simple mod?

    Probably for security. I suspect screws wouldn't hold well in the hollow aluminum. Pop rivets are perfect! Only problem is situations like this. It cost me close to $50 bucks to do the mod( the kit plus a rivet "gun"). It needed to be done though...

    You probably could find some type of feet and do it on the cheap...I'm just lazy :)

    Pop rivets are permanent fasteners, you need to drill them out and then put in new ones if you want to replace the feet. If the pedalboard tubing is closed you may end up with parts of the rivet rattling around inside.
