Simple Re-Mount Question

So i have a pair of 4FRNT TNKS from a couple years back that I had griffons on and then removed the bindings and out them on a custom pair of skis I made. Last weekend i ended up snapping one of the tails on my custom skis so I was wondering, Is it possible to just remount the griffons onto the 4FRNTS? will i need some epoxy or something to keep the bindings from falling out easily. I still have the same boot so I'm not worried about them not fitting my boots. Help = +K.

Epoxy will work, just tighten the screws by hand slowly to avoid stripping the thread and u should be just fine

so you're saying I should use some epoxy? if I don't use epoxy should I be worried about the bindings un mounting?

If u use epoxy then the screws won't be budging so of you want to take the bindings off in the future you will struggle, I would just use some waterproof pva, as long as the screws are put in properly they will be fine and I wouldn't worry about them

dont remount over the current holes. Pick a different mounting point (either forward or back)

Epoxy/woodglue would work fine.


Yeah they will probs un-mount easier, but go to your shop and get a hypercore or something thrown in their and it will work fine

In the past I've used a piece of a toothpick in the whole and some epoxy. Never had a pair rip out.

The tooth pick lets the screw grab into the ski a bit better instead of just sitting in the old threading.

woodglue but they have little plastic pieces that you have to put in the old holes, then hit them with a hammer so there in there and scrape off the top, fill the holes where the old bindings used to be is my point
