I picked up an older Hobie Revo. This locks for the Mirage Drive are a type if twist lock cam. I've heard that the older drives use an older set of Turbo fins. Anyone know where I can get a set used or new?

Also do I need a specific Sailing rudder for the older Hobie?

The fins are the same it's the masts that are different/ You have the set screw type and now the whole mast screws in

Use locktite when setting them and check for tightness often.  they will warble the holes out if there lose and the mast can fall out. If anyones has had one side fall out wjen pedaling hard, it can flip you over sideways
See ya on the water..

Oh man, that sounds like an awesome practical joke. 

(safety commentators: yeah, I know it could be dangerous)

The Loc-Tite came with my kit, so you shouldn't need to buy it.
