The desperate need to buy pivots to fit in is has never been more apparent

put it this way man, you CAN ski em, but no shop on the planet will touch them in any way. Also they're not like modern pivots in that the heel piece only rotates like 30 degrees

Thank you. That’s what I wanted to know I thought the heel looked different

As a tech i wouldn't touch those bindings. Not saying they won't work, but i imagine the plastic is mad brittle. Treat your knees to a new set. Griffon 13, STHs, Wardens are all dope options in the 200-300$ range.

I have a couple sets of bindings. I was just curious, saw these skis for cheap

Unfortunately there's a reason you don't see many of those out on the hill anymore. Even brand new that version of the Pivot heel was well-known for being incredibly fragile. Can't tell you how many pairs I saw back in the day frankensteined together with spare parts because they kept blowing to pieces.
