i have never bent them out before and I no that most shops wont do it for you due to liability reasons(I already tried it at my local shop)  I got wide brakes for my px 12 jibs at TTN(twin tip nation) you cant get them pritty much anywhere.  just type in px12 wide brakes on google.  TTN was really good tho got them in like a week i recomend checking them out.

just bend them, 6 mm is so easy.....i actually bent 80mm rossi brakes to fit prophet 130's, and they work fine.  i know at mammoth they'll bend em for ya......just take two cut down poles.......just the handle and a few inches of the metal, stick them around the brake ends and pull out, it really shouldn't even be hard at all

Wide brakes will be huge on an 86mm waist, just bend them out.  3mm on each side will be really easy to do, just use a broken ski pole or the end of a crecent wrench once they're on the ski.
