Hi,

I got a set of FKS 185 and a set of fks 14 and I was wondering if it was dangerous to mount the front piece of the fks 14 and the back piece of the fks 185, if I put both of them at the same din. Thanks

Shouldnt be a problem. The toepieces are slightly different (aesthetically) but the specs are pretty similar.

The heels are identical minus the din spring so you'll be fine

I would use the 185 toes and the 14 heels. 185= all metal toe, 14 = plastic toe

They all have the same stack height so you are good to go. I'm running forza heels from the 80's with toes from a pair of 09 sas 120's. As long as they are the standard look/rossi toe you are good to go.

just double checking, the fks 150/180 toes have the same hole pattern as the 140's? I'm talking toes from the last 5-7 years, not the old ones w rubber in them.

as stated, the height is the same, so it shouldn't be a problem as long as they test properly
