Thread: Bishop Bomber mounting question

Any sage words of advise for mounting the bomber I just picked up? I mounted in a shop (heh heh heh) for a bunch of yrs so I feel like I have the skill and equipment to take of it...just wondering if there are any super sp[ecial tricks to make life easier. Placing them on my last yrs motherships if it matters. Thanks

Same as any other tele mount. Some people say use all 8 screws per plate...I disagree with that. Use four and then depending on your plate, it will give you some adjustment range after the fact. I think you will get 1.5-2 cm fore or aft with the plate and 3 positions on the binding at about 1 cm apart. I do move my binding around a little depending on snow conditions.

I'm a big kid and am by no means elegant on my tele skis and I've never had an issue with only using four screws. I wreck hard too.

Yet. There's no drawback to mounting with all 8. You'll thank me later.

Just mounted a pair a few weeks ago in my living room.

I went with 6 screws 4 under the foot and 2 on the farthest holes toward the tip. This way the area that is subjected to most force (just behind the toe) is well secured. 8 seemed to be overkill.

No complaints so far, double check your mounting plate my holes were a few mm of for some reason.

x2 Love them. Still kicking myself for selling my spare pair last year. I sure hope Bishop rises from the ashes next year and restarts production.
