First round of kids skis. Think they know how lucky they are?
Haven’t had a bad jigarex plate yet (including shifts)
Fingers crossed.

In addition to optional center punch, you could also optionally use a tape measure to verify the marked factory recommended mount position, also plug any old holes with plastic or wood dowels or just epoxy, also could raze any old volcanoes/holes with a razor or file or whatever, also to decrease chance of spinners you could get a better "feel" by inserting screws with a hand screwdriver instead of a power drill.

Thanks.
I've got some holes that'll be touching/overlapping. I know this is debated but whats the strongest way to overlap holes? Previously I was doing dowels and epoxy but I'm wondering if inserts would be a good idea. I'm less inclined though cause I haven't done it before.

Hi Guys,
I don't come really often (I even lost my account) but this post is a treasure.
I've designed a 3D printed multi-brand drilling template. It's a work in progress, but as my progress is slow, I've decided to share the parts on Thingiverse so other people can use it, and request for new binding templates.
Works with standard drill bits (3.9 and 4.1 mm diameter)
I can't post a link - a limitation from TGR forum that i don't understand ? Neither a picture
The ref from thingiverse is 4641270

I was about to reuse some old Jester holes and then I saw there was some serious overlap, hence my questions above about plugging holes. Is there too much overlap which will cause certain death? The overlapping holes are the two rearmost holes on the heels. I don't care about the skis but I wonder if they come out at the wrong time it could be bad news. Thoughts?
Other mounts are shifts and kingpins. From what I remember there aren't other bindings that share many holes so it seems like a jester/griffon mount is my best bet.

best practises is to leave 1 cm between holes but overlapping holes are fine if it doesnt pull out
you will always get an anecdote from somebody who did less than best practices and had no problem
but maybe what we really need is a " I did considerably < best practices, shit fucked up, when it pulled out I broke my leg lost my job, my dog died, so did my pickup truck and my wife/husband left me " thread but you never see thoseLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Yeah, makes sense. Like you said, I just haven't heard any bad pullout stories. The only story I've heard was the one a couple weeks ago of overlapping holes that were plugged with plastic. And it sounds like that was just as much a problem of the binding (shifts) as the mount. Plus sounds like they were being skied pretty damn hard.
