Is that an old front binding and new rear binding? The rear looks the same as the new pivots. If thats an old rear binding im shocked that look made that technology that long ago.

Heel hasn’t really changed since the mid 80s and the basic design has been the same since day 1 in the 60s

I know many ski shops wont mount bindings that old for liability issues. Maybe a hole in the wall shop might. But even if they are willing they might not have the jig/layout for the binding.

My guess is your gonna have to mount yourself... Maybe you are an expert and that was your plan all along haha...

I know there is a website out there where they have paper jigs you can print out, might be worth looking into that.

Good luck dude!

tbh these are so ill. I have a similar pair but the little adjustor barrels on the heels are stripped out so I have misgivings about how safe they are.

I've skied that generation of FKS (heal piece identical and toe a bit different). They're not that old. 90's bindings. Worked great until the din adjustment rusted and wouldn't budge then the toe piece blew out.

Damn, heel pieces look solid as fuck imo. Should be dope for a gaper day setup. I've mounted sketchier on my skis haha

So sick! The the old plastic "half moon-plates" (right behind the brake pedal-thingy) seem to hold up way better than the new metal ones from what I have experienced.

Bindings that are like fucking magnets so you can pretty much go into ssx tricky mode
