Either way, I need something for these.....

Tecton heels/brakes were a bit of a pain at first but I figured it out.

I'm looking at buying a pair of skis that has Pivot 18s installed that are going to need remounting but idk if they're compatible with my WTR boots.

They're the green models (2014 I think?), does anyone known if they'll work? Or if not can I get the parts to make them work?

One being pretty close to BP too high, and the other pretty close to BP too low. So which setting would you go with?
Thanks!

Your answer is on Pugski....

There was once a WTR afd for the 18, but it might be hard to find. Easiest would be to find a used WTR 14 toe, those were everywhere.

Finished mounting these last night to be used for low tide touring. A little bit of a challenge finding the right mount point...the skis third mount and a bit swiss cheesed.

Attachment 348509
Half way there.

Finished product.

Anyone in Reno/Tahoe have a Marker Griffin (demo) jig I can use for a night? Thought I’d ask before the painters tape comes out.. ;)

Another pair. OG pivots on peacemakers. Brake bendy was kind of a bitch compared to Sollys, but not as bad as I’d anticipated.

Nothing like I expected, given the shape and Eric's involvement. I think they remind me most of the OG Bodacious with better float, they are miles from either the Pescado or Sakana. Forma wants to stay in the fall line and be driven as fast as you dare; not light, nimble and surfy at all. Not a tool for tip butters and slarving, it weighs 400 grams more than the Pescado per ski and wants to rip hard. I weigh 175 and mounted them on the "Infinity" mark, which I take means "most recommended" (183.6cm straight pull from the long parts of the tail) . . . waiting for a deeper playground to give them a thorough test, today was at best 4-5 inches over hard frozen.

Edit: I meant "83.6cm straight pull from the long parts of the tail" . . .

Thanks for the response... totally different response than I expected TBH!

I want to shim a binding toe and I'm trying to find a set of 5.5 x ~21-22mm panhead screws, and not having any luck. Tognar and Slidewright don't have them, do these just not exist? I've got some 28mm but with the amount of thread I'd have to remove I don't trust they'd have enough purchase in the ski.

What binding and how thick a shim?
