Best way to get new brakes is to swipe em off an older pair of look/rossi turntables. Those bindings came in a 10 Din version for ever, try to find an older pair on some crappy skis on CL or Ebay and you're money.

been hearing of some people experiencing heels on P18's pulling out of skis due to the narrow screw patterns, but those seem to be on non wood core skis
anybody here experience this? I'm assuming it's very rare because everyone seems to be using them still
before I get mine mounted I wanted to make sure people weren't bastardizing shorter race plates or whatnot to eliminate this risk

My Zr 18s have folllowed me trough 3 pairs of skis, and I have another pair of P15s, never had any problems. All of the skis have had woodcores though, I figure as long as you have that youre fine. What skis are you mounting them on?[/norskihijack]

[Whiney Stoner Voice] Awwwwww Maaaannnnnnnn!!!!! These bindings are like totally cramping my steeeeezzzzze, yo.[/WSV]
I've heard of this problem. 4FRNT was dealing with this alot. I don't know if it's really fixable. I think if you are big dude and you are huckin' and landing backwards, these might not be the bindings for you, because the hole pattern is so tight. Can't say I'm surprised they pulled out of that ski (Atomic Daddy). Just don't suck and fall all over the place and you'll be fine.ROBOTS ARE EATING MY FACE.

bossass, from that picture it appears he cracked his skis right where the mount was so it could be chicken and egg (which came first, the ski crack or the pullout?) but your description makes it sound hard to replicate and a one-off type event
there are enough people riding P18's here that I thought I'd ask and see if other heavier riders (>200 lbs) had experienced any kinds of problems with heel pull-outs
one other way to strengthen the heel mount may be to use epoxy instead of the simple glues most use
this epoxy test is pretty interesting:

You can buy the baseplates from Look in the US for $35.00 for a pair. Worked well for me.

can you elaborate a little more? do those plates affect the flex of the ski, etc? are they short plates made for the race bindings?
any links to what they look like/where they can be found? THX

They are just the base of the heel piece, i.e., brakes, turntable, and no spring housing.

Damn, that is a little better ($185), but I'm not going to complain over over $15 though for a kick ass binderAlways charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.

Question: I want to do this procedure on a pair of bindings that are already mounted. Do I need to be concerned about taking the bindings off and remounting them in the same holes?
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Bumping classic thread...
I tried this on some Look TTC bindings from mntlion, and managed to crack the brake arm right off -- must be more brittle than the P18s.
Any updates on whether Look/Rossi is producing wide brakes for the race bindings? I'm either gonna need replacement brakes (and try again), or find someone to cut-n-weld the brake arms, or get real creative with some Salomon brakes and try to make them fit.
