Heres what I'm planning on mounting

Armada ARG (133mm) with FKS 185 (110mm)

Surface Watch LIfes(90mm) with Look PX12 Jib (80mm)

do you think I can bend these to fit? if not should I get leashes for the ARGs or not worry about it?

bend them, here's the thread on tg that is a step by step tutorial and read down through the comments tells of an easier way to remove the plate.

I also say bend them.  You don't actually even have to bend them that much really, so it will work just fine.

dont know about the other but bending a 80mm brake to 90mm isnt a problem.

Interesting quiver you got there.  I'm using Jesters with 100mm breaks on my Donner Party's (140 mm waist) and just tying bright pink shoelaces onto the breaks and stuffing up the excess lace into my pants through the bottoms.  that way if I lose a ski they will all unravel and be easy to find.

i would bend them ones for the arg's, skis without breaks are bad news. and leashes dont always guarantee a speedy recovery so if they were mine i would definitley bend them, even if its a pain.

Not sure thaty pink shoelaces will save you there.  Whats to stop them from sinking too if dragged under by the ski?  I sent an hour and a half looking for one of my skis after it prereleased in a powder field.  Don't end up in that position and just get a leash.
