    Rossi FKx vs FKS mount patterns

    I've got some Rossi FKx Pro turntables on a Rossi plate I want to replace with some new FKSes. I haven't got the FKSes yet though.

    The turntables look the same, I gather they will be the same mount pattern. What about the toes, the FKx was the Geze style toe I think it was, where as the FKS is the Look style. Any chance they have the same mount pattern ?

    Thanks

    (PS. anyone know how to search on short strings like FKS. The search always throws them out on me as they are too short ...)

    old thread, but i have the same question, now....

    edit- to further this, mine are rossignol fkx din to 14 w/ the old style geze toe. now mine also have around a 10mm lifter as well. the bindings screw into the lifter and then the lifter into the ski. the toe lifter screw pattern looks very similar to the fks/pivot pattern, but the heel patter looks the same as the turntable (old school) above it.

    I have some FKS's I mounted on a Look plate on some Dynastar GSers. The toe hole pattern is the same. Which is pretty cool.

    How many screws does the toepiece have? I have some old FKS bindings with the Geze toe that have three screws, but I have seen some (mostly old race stock) with four screws. If it has the four screw pattern, the hole pattern is the same as the current FKS toe. If it has three, than it obviously uses a different hole pattern. However the same jig can be used for either type of binding.

    edit: didn't realize you were mounting them to a plate. They SHOULD work, but just bring the plate with you to the shop and check to see if the holes align to be certain.
