How close should you expect a shop to get to the recommended line? I might have expected +/- 0.5cm, but 2cm forward of the line seems like a bit of a miss...?
you came to the mount your own fuckin skis thread to tell us the shop fucked up?
half a cm give or take can happen. the jig at the shop I mounted my skis at would consistently push my bindings .5cm forward from where I actually wanted them.
.5cm doesn't seem like a big deal but it certainly can be
That's a huge fuckup. Another point scored for MYOFS.

Yes, that’s a miss. .5cm I wouldn’t sweat. >.75cm I would unless I directed them to do so. Not that I would given I mount my own fucking skis. You should too.Quote:

Ya just wanted to give you all a bit of a laugh :D Really though, was already a bit apprehensive about the amount of tail I'll have on this ski, so definitely will be looking to get this sorted out!Quote:

The shop mounted about 2cm in front of the printed line. Buuut, Line's website lists this 'stance back from center' thing at -4.53cm. What gives?
I think it is a K2 thingQuote:

How come you didn't you ask the shop why they mounted them 2cm forward ?Quote:

where are they are suposed to be mounted ?
You make it sound like the shop fucked-up
a whole lot of a dumb way to ask a question
Shit best be right on the fucking line but I MYOFS so my shit is exactly where I want.Quote:

Wtf? No jig should “push” your mount .5 cm forward. Either midsole on jig is marked wrong or jig is trash and should be in, the, trash…Quote:

The plastic Pivot jig did this and even had a note in the tech manual about it.... but generally speaking in this day and age jigs don't "push the mount forward" shop techs who fucked up do tho.Quote:

Oh yip, watched that video. So K2/Line's stance measurement is from the 'core' center, which differs slightly from the straight tape center.Quote:

can anyone confirm what size screws to get for pivots off of slidewright?
ive seen conflicting info.. the pan heads are the factory screws, correct?
Probably not conflicting more so the toe screw sizes change over time / model.Quote:

The reward and forward heel screws are different lengths due to the inconsistent thickness of the base plate. I don’t recall seeing the pivot heel screw sizes change over time or recall the toe using pan heads.
maybe conflicting info was poor choice of words.. but I finally found a reference on slidewright that should work even without having calipersQuote:

Those a machine threaded screws for skis with inserts installed. Is that what you're looking for? If you're after replacements for factory pivot screws, they are a bit harder to find.Quote:

Those are your options for the longer heel screws, I'm not aware of anything else out there but still hoping someone has a better solution. You can buy a CAST hardware pack that comes with 4 of the long screws.
The toe screws and short heel screws are easier to find. Can't remember the exact lengths of those.
Someone finally did it:

Oh yeah, that's all for p15 and p18... P14 and lower use same heel screws as those, different toe screws.
thanks.. now to find some for the toes
For P12s or 14’s,Quote:

1) After measuring total screw length of any random flathead alpine screw, put it in the binding and measure the projection.
2) Subtract the projection from the total screw length to get binding hole thickness.
3) Add binding hole thickness to mfgr recommended drilled depth (9.5mm, for instance), to get screw length.
I need one of these with Solly MTNQuote:
