Hey jondrums, any conclusions with the tyrolia template?
fixed. I found that the rearmost holes measured out at 42.5mm width, and the template had them at 42mm.
It was only .5mm, so I'm curious if various versions of this binding vary a little. Mine are Mojo 15s
this should be sticky'd!
awesome information. worked great for two sets of skis this weekend.
question on the salomon template: is the center hole for the brake actually needed (to be drilled)? i couldn't tell if the screw was just holding the brake onto the binding plate or if it was going all the way through into the skis. i'm wondering if i have open holes under the brake mount.
^^^Some salomon heels are 4 hole and some are 5. The break just screws into the binding, so if you have 4 screw heels don't drill the center hole.
You can also tell the 4-hole heels apart from those with 5 by slightly flexing them. Is it one stiff plate, where the binding is on, then it's the 4-hole piece.
If the part with the breaks is somehow flexibly attached to the main part, it's a 5-hole.
But easier is to look on the plate from down. How many screws are visible? Count... There you go...
got it. i didn't realize there were two types and just eyeballing the binding it seemed that 5 was the right number due to the brake screw. i didn't think to line up the binding on the template to check.
if you like, maybe make a note on the template for the next person.
thanks for the excellent work :yourock:
There is a good chance I am slightly retarded so I thought I would ask. I have a pair of Rossignol Freeski2 140 XXl bindings, which template would work?
Jon,
RE Dynafit Radical Template
As I said in PM I rechecked the revised radical template on an ST toe - seems to be too long now
I measured 39 x 30 mm (fore-aft x side-side) for hole spacing (with ruler not caliper)
Note: my printer scaling is off ever so slightly (less than 1mm short over 20cm ~ 0.5%). Seems your original may be right or pretty darn close. If so I apologize for misleading last time around.
Hopefully someone else with a toe piece or a jig will weigh in.
Just a heads up: my current printer stretches the templates slightly when printing. Never had this problem with my previous two printers, but now I need to scale height to 101% and width to 103% in Photoshop to print correctly. I'm duplicating a horizontal scale on anything I print now so I can double check. A horizontal scale would be a good addition to any template revisions from now on.
Yes, it's probably that my printer sucks balls, but just a heads up in case yours does too. Measure height and width on the template, then sight the crosshairs through your binding baseplate, then mark and drill.
Many thanks to jondrums for this awesome thread. My housemates and I have used probably 6-8 of these in the last month or two, all mounts done without a hitch.
Cash saved going towards a house monoski perhaps?
Jester template worked great. Thanks
bump to pg one
duke/baron template went well. inserts are inserted.
thanks thanks
FKS/Pivot template worked great. Thanks for the templates!
I got the chance to verify this with a real binding in person. The spacing should be 39x30 exactly. I updated the template, but am unable to attach it to the first post for some reason.
Its weird that people were calling for another .75mm forward. My current assumption is that there are some radical bindings floating around with slightly different hole locations.
Is the updated template floating around online somewhere?
Thanks again for all your work. Much appreciated.
Since file attachments seems to be broken, I can't update the files in the first post. I also host all the templates here:

i need marker squire 2012 template, please someone can share
First, thank you thank you thank you.
Second, I wonder what is considered acceptable slop tolerance? My print came out about 198/200, but my print driver panel doesn't have percent scaling box. I just tested the px 12 template and they are fine but that is in plain soft wood, not the ski where the metal skin might have less tolerance? I'm sure I can work it out, but it's interesting.
Anyway, these are the bomb and beat the hell out of the available alternatives. Thanks again.
Thanks jondrums.
Mounted my superbros & fks with your template, a taped 5/32" bit, and some loctite marine. Cheaper and quicker than the local shop.
i used some fr+ pro templates that didn't work for me, had to go back to freehand for succes$. i will reinvestigate my isues later. thanks jondrumns for having available mounting aids available.

Just mounted up my new praxis bps! This will be my pov all pow season.

Thanks for the templates. Made it much quicker and easier than measuring everything:)
Big up jondrums!
Thanks for the guide!
I didn't find a template for my bindings though (Head Mojo 11) so I made my own.
These are 100%, just tried them on my skis and they fit perfectly!
Hope I was allowed to use bindingfreedom's templates to make my own.
You can find them on: http://www.klumpen.se/Other/Unprotected/
Used the Radical info the other night. R2 is $$$.
Thanks Jon!
Posting this in the Plum thread and paper template thread for reference:
I just finished a more accurate test mount of my 11/12 Plums. The Plum R1 template is a little out for both toe and heel so I used the Dynafit R2 template instead. The toe is correct. The heel required the rear two holes to be moved back 0.75mm (9px at 300ppi). I don't have a 4mm key/spacer but with a ruler this adjusted template looks to give a 4mm heel gap with the heel in the middle of the track. My boot's midsole mark is a little off (thanks Marshall), so fore/aft positioning is correct.
NOTE: My printer is an absolute piece of shit, and I have to do some weird scaling in order to print any template true-to-size. I'm pretty confident this is irrelevant to the above adjustments, but someone should verify my findings before publishing a definitive Plum 11/12 template.
With my print scaling, the Plum R1 and Dynafit R2 templates have exactly the same toe. I also verified this with my actual toepiece, and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know about a template for the Marker Free series? I've searched, but might still be JONGing it...
Jondrums - I know it is WAY early but how long do you think it will take for you to make a salmon guardian template?
^^ anyone have a jig?
look px/axial2 worked for me
Excuse the dumb questions, but I want to be certain before I drill. I'm about to mount Solomon S900's on Pontoons. At my daughter's kitchen counter in Tacoma and far, far away from shop and tools. I did a 2x4 test mount at my shop before and all went well. So....
Dumb question #1- For a boot with a 318 BSL I join the heel/toe templates between the 320 and 315 marks? That's what I did on the 2x4 and forward pressure worked out.
Dumb question #2- I am mounting "on the line" so...this point on the template (Between the 320 and 315 marks)should also be at the boot center mark on the ski?
^^^ Yes... you've got it.
That is what I did.
My BSL was 326...but I took one piece of paper and folded it over CRISPLY at whatever BSL you want between the lines. I used a calibrated digital ruler to verify it was what I wanted it to be. I did similar with the heel part.
Taped them one at a time at the "LINE" you want to mount them on. I checked a number of times to make sure that the templates were centered with a line down the centre of the ski (longitudinally). Again I used a digital ruler to verify it was the same amount on each side.
You should be pretty good with this. You can also set the bindings down on the template and sort of set you boot on it to make sure it looks right - although that isn't very precise...it made me feel better.
Good luck man. After you have done it once, it seems so simple that you wonder why you paid someone for it. (until you fuck it up that is :D)
Thanks. This place is good. Was all set to use a shop on the way to the mountains but, THERE WAS TOO MUCH SNOW TO GET THERE! I-90 to the Pass was closed for avy control. we'll try again tomorrow with freshly mounted Pontoons.I'm using the "folded paper" method to find the center line. Works every time if 3 points line up. If they don't, like they just didn't, re-measure.
i've been meaning to state in here that i was having some weird comparisons between the duke template and my baron 13's. if i remember right the baron holes were slightly closer together (a few mm's). i'll be able to confirm once i do my next swap, but has anyone else noticed a slight discrepancy?
