Binding repairs

[Davin]

Today i was seshing my hills new airbag and i landed weird and the whole heel piece fell out of my ski. screws and all just popped right out. There are two screws that seemed to have stripped holes. Any ideas on how this could get fixed if there is a way? Im bringing it to my shop tomorrow but if you guys could help me out with some advice and info. it would be much appreciated! +k to good

Your heel piece shouldn't just come out..your shop might have mounted them wrong? Also, you will probably have to remount the bindings alittle bit back from the old holes so you don't pull another binding out. Take it to the shop and see what they can do

Depending on damage, the shop may be able to remount in the same place using helicoils.

You could do helicoils, but I'd recommend having them move the heelpiece back/forward to some fresh holes.

will moving the heel piece holes throw off center mounting?

 

[cornholio]

probably depends on if your binding is on some sort of track

 

[Davin]

it is. its a pair of older look pivots if you know anything on those bindings do you think it could be done?

 

[Billek]

No, because all (most?) heelpieces are on a track. For example, new holes could be made 1cm back, and you can slide the heelpiece 1cm forward. This will change the flex an unnoticeable amount, but I remounted one of my heelpieces myself and I don't notice a thing. Helicoils are great, but I think fresh holes will hold up better.

Thanks to everyone so far!
