Remounting question

I have some old ar5s that are currently mounted with some axial race 140s (old p-series heel), but I was thinking of moving those bindings over to some new skis (bluehouse hopefully), and putting some other bindings on the ar5s. Heres my question: if i was to get some px12s for my ar5s, would the holes line up with those of the old bindings, or would i have to plug them and re-drill? I'd rather not re-drill obviously, but i'd like to have my nice burly bindings on the skis i'd actually be primarily riding. thanks

the toe will line up, the heel is a completely different screw pattern.

you can use the same holes for the toe. You may be able to use 2 holes on the heel, depending on your BSL and how far you move the heelcup on the track.

make sure you use heli coils if you are mounting back into the same holes. it will make the mount much stronger and you wont have to worry about ripping the bindings out.

you're in teh best position to make an exec decision.

would only one pair of holes be the right fit and the other pair be really close in the heel?
