Wouldn't want that re-cracking if you're on a rail...

You any good at welding?
No, it really looks pretty shot. You might be able to post a thread in the BST and see if anyone has just one heel piece they might sell you so you don't have to buy all new bindings.
Although, are those beater skis or do you plan on using them on the mountain...I can't quite tell...cause if they're beater skis for backyard/urban then I wouldn't really worry about it.

take it off, put it in a vice and beat the fuck out of it with a hammer. its worth a shot, and if it doesnt work then buy a new heelpiece

cool, wasnt sure if that was a piece i could buy individually...looks like id have to unmount the bindings to take it off tho, right?
i think for this weekend (going to visit my girlfriend that is living in lynchburg va...so snowflexing) im gonna clean it out real good, and put something to support the plate underneath it so that when i land or clip in the cracked part wont have to hold as much and then jb weld it...
they are just my beater skis, so backyard setup, urban and shit like that, so i figure just doing my best to mend what ive got is prob good enough. they stay on somewhat now...but not well enough to have confidence in them

Any shop will have a parts bin they can swap a plate from for beer or cash.
