Am I going to destroy my knees?

I have an old pair of Look PX race bindings mounted to an old pair of skis. The PX was designed to work with an alpine sole. I recently got gripwalk boots and do not want to remount this particular ski with GW bindings as it has been drilled many a time already.

When I put this gripwalk boot in this binding, I can still fit a business card in between the AFD and the soles, with a little friction. As I understand it, this is how you check toe height on bindings with an adjustable toe height.

if the gap appears right, even though it’s technically a gripwalk boot and an alpine binding, am I safe to use it? Or is this a dumb idea and am I going to destroy my knees?

Ski tech jabronis please advise
 
The binding won't perform safely or consistency if you use a GripWalk iso23223 sole on an Alpine binding. You could probably find a replacement AFD that's gripwalk compatible; you don't need to fully remount.

PX toe pieces have the same mount holes as the pivot toe, just a different heel. Find some more modern toes that either come with gripwalk afd's or are compatible with them.
 
Unfortunately the PX predates gripwalk, so they only offered it with alpine AFDs.

I’ll give this a try, I was not aware they had the same mounting pattern on the toes
