Bending brakes (90mm brakes for 83mm wide ski)

I want to bend the brakes on my line invaders in, so that they won't catch on the snow. I used to have 100mm brakes on them, and i went through about 8 pairs of them because they kept snapping off.

Any help on how to do this correctly and efficiently is much appreciated.

if your using 90 mm brakes on a ski with a waist of 83 you should be fine.

The brakes still stick out a little bit over the edge of the ski tho... and thats how the 100mm brakes got ripped off of my bindings.

But I haven't skied these yet, so, i guess we'll see.

+K, thanks for the input
