Pivot Screw Patterns

I want to upgrade pivots to metal 15/18 but am wondering if the screw patterns are the same or if I’ll need a remount. Pivot 12 and 14 have same patterns but could see how 15 and 18 would be different. Anyone know for sure?

Same for sure, as long as the holes aren't stripped you're good to go no remount!

What they said^

Make sure to use hole sealant when you install the new ones.

I got em originally drilled for fks120 and on the first day riding them, the toe wings cracked off so I unscrewed them and put other 12 toe pieces on with wood glue to seal the holes. This would be the third set in the same holes. Am I good?

Knowing me I will probably remount them lol unless they snap. Putting gold 15’s on and can see myself swapping them to another set of whips at some point lol

You might be okay. It’ll get a little sketchier each time you reuse holes but as long as you dont get a spinner you should be okay. If you do strip the holes you can always helicoil and continue to use the same mount point. Also just fyi you can swap out the toe wings in the 12/14s fairly easily by unscrewing the DIN screw all the way and putting new wings on (old toe anyway, not sure about the newer ones)

Oh shit I didn’t know that. Last shop tech said the real problem was finding just the wings anyway. They are arguably my favorite pair of skis so I don’t want to ruin them :/
