Replying to P14 / Axial 140 Questions.

Love_Wins.:
Ok, so I decided that I don't need the S916 Lab, the lowest setting is 9, and I usually run bindings at about 8 for everyday riding, but might crank them a notch or two for back country riding. I want some P14/Axial 140s to go in my Prophet 130s...here's what I want to know, is it possible to bend the brakes that much, and if not, could I use a Salomon or 4FRNT brake that fits 130mm and somehow retrofit it to pivots? Also, how does the heel screw pattern on them compare to the FKS155? Cause I've heard that the FKS are more likely to rip out because of the tight screw pattern, but are the regular pivots much better? I'm 6'4" and 160lbs if that helps. I've also heard that Look doesn't make a jig that fits skis over 99mm...is that true? Because the only way to mount them if it is, would be a custom jig, or freehard it, and I've never had a freehand job done, but I've heard that a good tech can freehand a job so well you would never be able to tell, what does everyone here think? Any experiences?
