does anyone out there make a turntable style binding that will fit a 90mm waist ski? i have a pair of rosi race 120's but they are only 80mm and im having a hrd time finding wide brakes for them, thanks. 
 
Take them apart and bend them. Its really so easy. People make it seem like so much more of a hassle. Once you do the first one the second one might take you 20 minutes.

I am sure someone will post the link to the tgr tutorial
 
yeah i think the rossi race 120s are the old fks120s, they are grey and yellow, but im not positive, but yeah look at the tgr turtorial
 
You can't buy wide brakes for FKS's, but you can bend them pretty easily. All you need is a vice and a broken ski pole, just clamp the brake in the vice and bend with the pole.
 
Ya. I thought that rossi races were like the all black versions of the fks. I could be wrong. But if they are just bend them.

If they are like p12's I dont know what to tell ya
 
i tried bending them, but it wasn't easy, is there any chance of breaking them if i crank down too hard? 
 
this is what the heel piece looks like:

Here's a couple things that I found useful when bending mine:

-When taking off the baseplate, you can avoid bending the front tab. Just put a small flathead screwdriver under each end of the plate, then lightly tap it off with a hammer. Make sure you tap in the right direction.

-Bend one brake arm at a time to make sure you get the right horizontal angle for when it goes back on the ski.

-When you go to put the base plate back on, get all the tabs lined up, push it together, and slide it into place by putting an allen wrench (or something similar) into one of the rear screw holes and pulling it back. If it doesn't go into place fairly easily, something is out of line.

-To put the spring back in at the end, get one side of it in most of the way first. Then take a small flat screwdriver, put it in the other side, and tap that side in. Once you get it evened out, take a bigger one and use that in the center to get the whole thing back.

It'll be slow and confusing on the first one, but just take your time and be gentle. Bend slow, measure 5 times, and think before you do something and it'll all work out. Once you have things figured out it should only take around 20 minutes to do the second heel.
