Tittle says it, I'm almost positive I have to part with these babies. I couldn't find a shop to bend the brakes, and dont feel like getting sued if my skis come off and drill some gayper because the brakes are mounted flat. I WILL NOT SELL THESE ONLY TRADE! So through out what you have, I would love some sth16s, and depending on the condition I'd throw in some cash.

I just bent my FKS185 brakes a couple days ago. It's really easy. All you need is a flathead screwdriver, some plyers, a vice and a piece of old pipe. It's really not hard at all.

complete with pictures. If you happen to have an oxy-acetylene torch it's even easier.

^NVM, i realized what i typed sounded like I couldn't find a ski shop who would bend them for me, but what i meant was i couldnt find a work shop that has a table vice i could use, unless home depot has one set up as a floor display, that would be clutch im gunna check that out

I've done it with just a pipe before.  I don't think you really need a vice.  Just mount the binding with the brakes flat against the ski and stick the pipe on the brakes and bend them out, then down around your edges.

^thats how people break em all the time, the vice helps hold it all where its suposed to be, with out it you can damage the brakes and the housing of the binding.
