Jesters on Scratch Ghto ?!

I have a question, and I dont know if I'll be able to find an answer this early but here it goes. Being a fan of a bottle heelpiece binding and not a fan of the new Axial2, I ordered a pair of Jesters to mount on a pair of Rossi Ghto's. I knew the Jesters/Duke have a wide mount (they "need" 76mm topsheet) b but I realised that with the tappered sidewalls and torsion box, the topsheet of the Ghtos is alot smaller then I thought. Any feedback on Jesters or even better on actual mounts !? Thanks!

I'm loosing a solid 4-5mm on each side I think with the sidewalls and torsion box. I'm gonna call around to see who has the binding, but I was curious if anyone had any additional info themselves.

Yes I am thinking about mounting them center, but it will only be wider at the toe, but the heelpiece with be line-up probably at a narrower part of the ski. Anyways... they're on the way, not much i can do lol

im pretty sure youll be ok. the heel screws sit like at most 40 mm apart, thats well into the inners of the wood core. stick with them, they are nasty bindings.
