Brake Width

Hey all,
I recently picked up a pair of old Ninthward Henrick harlaut pro's which are 82mm underfoot. I am looking to grab a pair of look pivot bindings or even fks's but the only close brake sizes they have to fit my skis are 75mm and 95mm. Which do you think would be a better fit? I feel like the 75mm might just be too narrow but then again I'm not sure if it'd still squeeze by.

Don't do it! I love the fks, but the width of your skis is just not compatible. smaller brakes never work, and going for a brake that wide can be unpredictable to ride, ( pant cuff getting caught and brakes interlocking), would recommend a pair of tyrolias. They're just as good for anyone trying to push the envelope, and I'm pretty sure they have more of a selection to accommodate the waist width of your skis. Happy hunting
