## Notes

- A snowboard is over 1 m; the binding-insert pattern is what stomp pads, mounts, wall racks and binding discs are designed around. Patterns and spacing are as Burton publishes them in its binding-mounting guide.
- Discs come in 4x2, 4x4, 3D and Channel formats; one disc fits one pattern.
- Not published (so no file): the number of holes in each row, the insert thread for 4x4 / 2x4 / 3D boards, the 3D triangle size, and the Channel slot width. Measure your board once.
