I measured to arbitrary points marked on my boot, not to the pins like the measurements you have read, so that I could measure an alpine binding too and compare the delta. It's the comparisons in delta that are important not the absolute numbers.Quote:

i see no problem with this
Waymint. You only drill the toes first then drill the heels? I don’t see heel holes in the ski. If so that’s pretty strange.
If you’re serious about your fuck up, that sucks but shouldn’t have issues with hole overlap. Plug and drill again.
i hit them with a tiny bit while the template is still on then go back after i mount the toe piece. that is kinda weird know that you say that.Quote:

Excuse the mess, at least I got the toes on the right end.
I can confirm the MTN template is very close. Its missing the brake button hole. I found that to be 6cm forward of the rear edge of the front heel holes. And I shifted the heel mount forward 5mm.

Anybody holding a spare set of 90mm vipec brake arms?
This made me laugh more than it should have - I can so relate to the feeling you were probably experiencing right about then.Quote:

Yay. I just wanted to pull the pin and self detonate, but luckily both were relative easy fixes - as is yours, if still more than a bit of bother.
Still - awersome pairing, should be super versatile!
Thanks for sharing both the highs as well as the lows ;)
yeah I’ve done that
and other fuck ups
The topsheets on those ON3Ps are awesome.Quote:

That’s more like it.
Ended up plugging them with dowel and locktite. Counter sank the dowel and filled with melted hot glue. Looks alright.
Mounted up some low-tide craigslist skis. Second mount using a jig...so easy.

I mounted some rock skis backwards 2 years ago. I was too proud to post it on here, but that’s all been beaten out of me

I have a rule in my shop. Tips always to the left. Always. Takes all the thinking out of it.
I'm about to mount some Salomon Warden MNC 13s and noticed that the heel plate doesn't lie flush on the deck. There is a protuberance where each of the forward screws exit the plate, but no corresponding raised area at the rear screws. This looks...well...wrong! It'd be easy to knock them flush, but that doesn't seem right either. There's nothing in the tech manual about this and even the (lousy) illustrations fail to show the bindings mounted on a pair of skis. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks, Pete
