when i bent mine the first one worked alright, then the second one i broke the tab off on the front. so out of the 4 tabs, one is broken. it went back together alright though and seems like it will work without it. or should i try and order/find another one?

It should be fine. Once all the screws are tight they should hold it together. I've got a set in front of me just now and it looks like those tabs will just stop the brake assembly lifint up - does yours lift a little on the broken side? Tighten the rear two screws and see if there's any play. Even if there is, I don't think it'll be a big deal.

Hold up. Are you talking about a tab on your metal baseplate?

Ohhh, I see. I dont think that should be a problem. Once you mount them, it all gets sucked together.

Did you dis-assemble them to bend the brakes? How did you manage to snap that? Its really, really tough metal.

i swear no matter what, the damn binding company always has to make some shitty little tab or holder of some kind out of plastic in a place where it is most likely to break. and then it does ahaha.

you should be fine man once its all together and ur foots in there.
