Replying to Dear Rossignol Binding Dept, ATTN FKS Brakes

Hey Rossi! Been a huge fan of the FKS series, even through the drought back a few years when they were discontinued. I love them to death, save one issue - my brakes are broken. Don't know how it happened, I was just skiing along, doing a switch right double cork 7, kinda landed funny, and when I came to in the hospital, I was horrified to learn that my brakes had snapped when my skis popped off and bounced into another state. Having bent my own brakes before, I know how much of a pain it can be to replace FKS brakes (most of my time was spent searching my garages dark corners for that spring that yearns to be freed from its housing), so I decided to roll my wheelchair down to my local ski shop to get a new set and have them replaced by professionals. Problem is, they say that they can't buy FKS parts. It seems sensible that you don't want untrained unprofessionals messing with their bindings in their garage, home, bedroom, wherever they do it, but can you please consider letting shops order parts, specifically brakes, narrow and wide, for the FKS? It would make my day, and while I would never consider riding skis without brakes, there might be some crazy cats out there that might - hey, I love your bindings a lot, and I'd consider myself a occasional radio listener compared to the crazy FKS groupies out there. THANKS for reading my fan mail, and while you're at it, can you make the baseplate for the heel out of metal, or at least reinforce the area around the brake arms? Signed,
