Will Duke heelpieces fit on griffons

I trashed the heelpiece on my griffons last night, but I've got a pair of dukes around that I could nick the heel pieces from.
Are they interchangable?

I wouldn't, try two very different bindings. I don't have any personal exp but that doesn't sound like a good idea

Try it? I don't have my barons (same overall construction as Dukes) anymore, but I believe the heel piece is the same, just slides off the track. If it fits on the griffon track then it will probably work. It would be the same as putting a jester heel on a griffon track, the construction is all the same (assuming they are the same generation).

This is what I assumed, they are the same gen and DIN is DIN.
I can't seem to get the Duke heel off.

Were you screwing them forward or back? Markers have to be screwed all the way forward to come off the track. You can kinda feel once the FP screw is off its little tread, the heel piece can be stingy sometimes, especially if the bindings are dirty.

The 2012 - 2013 Duke is a different pattern than the Griffon. Last years pattern was the same just had one extra screw.

if you can separate the duke heel from toe, go for it.

Done, I'll post photos when I'm not on my phone. They fit on fine.
Getting the heels off the dukes was harder though. They had to be wound forward to reveal the back of the metal track. The last bar has to be knocked down with a punch and I then used a dremel to ensure the screw wouldn't catch.
Boom bye yeah, now I can swap them between my urban skis and my pow skis.
