Bolts remain in shoe when shaping & setting shoe to hoof. 2. When shoe is set, place it on aluminum plate & tap with hammer. The bolt ends will mark where plate should be drilled with 3/8" drill bit. 3. Mark the outline of the shoe on the plate. Then cut the plate with bandsaw, cold chisel or creaser and file to finish. 4. Either of the frog support pieceS can now be riveted to the plate. A shim of leather or plastic can be added for proper height. Normal support should not be higher than 1mm or .400. Be sure that the soft black neoprene pad is against the frog. The flat rivet heads go next to the frog. 5.
