Are the brakes wide enough on the FKS bindings to fit the Scratch BC's without bending?

nope. they need to be bent, which shops do. they are designed to fit the profile of a race ski...

new p18s have a wide brake option though, but thats the p18.

You'll be able to get the FKS 185's with a 105mm brake around Christmas...supposedly.  But the standard brake on them is 80mm or something--maybe even narrower--and is totally useless until you bend it.
