Another pivot question

So I had a pair of pivot 12’s on my reckoners drilled for 315bsl and bossed up to gold 15’s. Since the screw patters are the same I just swapped them myself.

I was on a 315bsl boot last season but ended up getting new boots at 310 recently. I tried to click into the pivot 15’s I just swapped for and the heel doesn’t even lock in because of too much room. I thought it was only 5 on the bsl and should be good according to looks website but the boot straight up doesn’t even click in.

What should I do? The mount point is exactly where I want the ski like I really don’t want to go anymore backwards…

Where are the brake length indicators? They have 10mm of travel

There are some little screws in the heel, try tightening those. It worked for me.

What other people said, but being more specific look at the arm bars on the sides of the heels. They’re usually black with a silver rod in them. They’re the parts that sit on the sides of the heel of ur boot. If you engage the heel piece without a boot in it, there’s Phillips heads on each. When you go to tighten these down, do them in stages. EX 5 cranks on the left then 5 on the right and so on. Do NOT tighten one side down then the other. You should be able to fit 310s in there just fine!

I was in the exact same boat last season, went from 315bsl to 310 bsl, assuming your pivot are perfectly mounted at 315 (with the heel piece in the middle of the adjustment range there) I was able to fit my 310 boots, with the heel piece all the way up (tighten the 2 screws at the back like people said)

Yeah just to clarify for the thread: you helped me adjust them. I tightened the heel pieces and they are good. Thanks everyone.
