I bought boots that are 1mm larger than my old boots and I can't get the white thing to be in line with the two black tabs for forward pressure on my FKS?
 
If you're asking how to do this you shouldn't be doing it, forward pressure is very important and if you screw it up you could easily end up with one less ACL, do yourself and take it to your local shop bud, they'll probably do it for free,

Have a good one!
 
Go by feel of the heelpiece's rotation. From page 18 of the publicly available 12/13 Rossi/Look manual (http://www.look-bindings.com/tzr/scripts/downloader2.php?filename=T006/fichier/b0/5a/4sfl83ak7k3l):

FORWARD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The forward pressure adjustment on the FKS/Pivot bindings may take some fine tuning/adjustment.

1. Adjust the forward pressure by the two adjustment screws at the back of the heel. Make sure to adjust the screws on

the arms evenly (see photo D)

2. Latch the boot into the binding

3. Confirm that the White/Yellow tab aligns with, or is just past the two raised features on the heel base (see photo E)

4. Grab the heel piece with your right hand and if you are able to twist/rotate the heel easily, tighten the forward adjustment

(see photo F)

a. Make sure not to over tighten the forward pressure. The forward pressure is correct when you cannot lightly

rotate the heel on the boot and the heel has a strong elastic snap

5. Confirm the elastic travel at the heel and toe. If the forward pressure is too tight, the elastic travel will be negatively

affected

6. Setting bindings for individual skiers: The ski/boot/binding system must be inspected by a dealer using

testing device. Refer to pages 38-39 for testing procedures, settings and skier instructions. Refer to the

release adjustment chart on page 35.

So it doesn't matter if they align with the tabs?
