A tip for future foilboards.
Have rails that that continues all the way back and are open in the back end end.
Much easier to connect and disconnect the foil.
Just slide it in or out.

Cutting the boxes open will weaken them, but I do not know if the failure rate will be noticeably higher.

A neat trick I have seen is to use asymetrical washers so that the bolts are outside the plate. You just unscrew a little the bolts to connect/disconnect the foil. The washers have bumps that lock into the normal plate hole screws for a secure fit. I do not remember which foil brand uses them, though.
