I have px12 ti lifters on my foils. can i have them take off the lifters, grind down the screws, and remount in the same holes? or is that a horrible idea

you can get them remounted, but you cant mount twice in the same hole

remounting in the same holes is fine, your choice whether or not you want to do a helicoil
as for grinding down the screws, prob not the best idea, you should try to get some new screws because grinding can be very iffy so have someone whose done it before do it

it would be super easy to do it your self. Just use a power drill and posi bit to take your binding off. Get new screws and put the screws back in be sure not to over torque and use lock tite.

Ask your shop or contact the binding manufacturer for screws.

Good point I forgot about that. PM pat_in_the_hat and tell him that I gave you permission to use his house for the remount.
