What binding template matches a Rossi FTX?

Thanks for looking.
I just received some previously drilled skis that had Rossi FTX and Fritschi Freeride Plus bindings on them. The bindings template I was going to use, are too close to the previous holes IMO, (less than .5 inches) so I am hoping you can suggest bindings with the same template as the Rossi's.
If you know of a binding that is adjustable (so it can be moved forward or back) that would be cool, as I was going to use Tyrolia railflex bindings, so I could adjust the bindings without another redrill.
I appreciate your suggestions.

I'm a bit confused on what you are asking. Are you trying to buy a binding to drop in the original FTX holes? The toe should be the same as any Rossi toe for the past 10 years including the PX and nova series of today. The heel should be the same as the PX10, 12 and 14. All of the rossi demos use a different toe mount but the demo heel would use the same holes. Ideally if you could find a rental binding that has the fixed toe but adjustable heel, then you could use the same holes. The rental axials will not work in the FTX heel holes however so esentially your still in an FTX with a long track heel.

Do you know the BSL of the previous Rossi mount?

^^^Sorry to say I do not know the previous BSL, but I could find out.
Thanks for the Rossi info, I thought someone told me a Look template was the same as the Rossi's, but I may be mistaken.
Yes, I was thinking of trying to use the Rossi holes, but if there is a big difference in the BSL's I will still need to redrill.
I guess I need to take the skis into a ski tech.
I would be helpful to know if the Rossi template matches any other brands before trying to find a tech that sells the correct brand.
Thanks

Look/Rossi.....same/same, no difference. I believe the jig I have says look FD/Rossi FTX. Works great

Thanks for the info. I did some looking around and found Look PX bindings, no FD? So I will find a tech that sells Look, Rossi and maybe even Dynastar bindings to see if I can come up with something that works with the present holes for my BSL. One of the Look bindings I read about said it was adjustable up to 5 boot sizes once mounted.
Thanks for the help.
