Where are these things sold? I found a universal jig that you buy plates for, but they are out of stock... Does anyone have any input on this

You can buy a universal Jung that take plates, they are in stock at the place I buy my ski tuning supplies from, or use the paper jig that comes in the box. I was a ski tech for 8 years. The first two years the jester were out there was no metal jig to use we had to mount with paper. Probably mounted 200+ pairs of jesters and dukes with just a paper jig.

jigs are expesive. before i was a tech, i went to lowes and bought a clear plexiglass sheet. then taped grid paper to the bottom and got creative. worked really well. cost me $10 instead of 65 +. whats your location? i could help you out if youre near my shop

hey man, unfortunately i dont think we can sell our jigs! but if you want you can pm me a cell # and ill give u the best step by step advice? its a pain in the ass, but atleast you dont have to pay ~$75 for a potentially shitty mount done by a half assed, hung over ski tech (we just kicked out a few and i now have the shop to my self!)

Metal jigs aren't something that are available for consumers to buy. They are only available for shops. Paper templates are readily available though, but they are a super pain in the ass to set up and get right.

How many pairs of bindings are you intending to mount?

As above, I'm sure if you talked to the right person at Marker or even your local shop they would sell you one but it would be pretty expensive.

I like mounting with paper jigs. There's something rather satisfying about it that I can't quite put my finger on.
