I know it is only 3mm and ideally this should fit well, or well enough. However I know that the p18 breaks can be weird with micro adjustment. Do you think I will be fine with that or I could bend another pair have done several pairs in the past, I just want another opinion, I am probably over thinking this it is late. Even more of a trying question, jester 110mm on a 118 mm ski, that probably will not work that well. What is your two sence

I had a FKS 115mm brake on a 117mm waist ski, as well as a 110mm Jester brake on a 115mm ski. Both were mounted without bending at all.

consider the sidecut of the ski as well. the narrowest part of the ski is 118 but the binding does not go there. it will be back a few cm's from the narrowest point making it have to stretch over something most likely over 120mm. it's something a lot of people forget when bending brakes. but even 5mm is just a light tweak

Yea I was thinking the same thing ~~relative amounts. anyway I not going to be mounting these core center anyway but probably +/-1 from true making the area where breaks will be bent right over ~(relative) core center and therefore the narrowest part of the ski 118 underfoot. Thanks for the reminder though I had kind of spaced on that for the time being
