Point is, it's more about the boots than the bindings. With Cochise/Strider/Pinnacle/Freetour type DIN/tech boots, there's no need to shim the toe of any tech binding (except possibly Plum), in fact the heels might have to be shimmed on some combinations (Beast/Kingpin/Vipec) to achieve "alpine binding" ramp.
With a rockered sole boot (Maestrale/Vulcan/etc), all tech binding toes (except maybe Beast) need to be shimmed to achieve an alpine ramp.

When this thread was made it was about Dynafit and ramp angle, not newer "pintech" bindings with less ramp and I don't know if there were any of the newer din soled tech compatible boots around. Most every boot used with Dynafits at the time this thread was started had a rockered AT sole. Things have changed.

Installation question.
The screws I got from bnd are wider than the screws my bindings came with and they don't fit through the holes in the bindings (see pictures).
Am I better off 1. Drilling out the binding holes 2. Grinding down the threads 3. Getting different screws or 4. Something else?
Thanks!

Update:
Bnd wrote back and said just to crank the screws on in there. And that seemed to work.
And man, even from the carpet test I can tell a huge difference. Can't wait to ski!

The B&D screws are a different pitch to normal screws also. I didn't use the ones I bought for that reason.

I bought the 23.5mm screws from Skimo.co for adding a 4mm shim to the toes on my Vertical ST. The screw threads looked like a match for the original screws. The heads were a tiny bit wider, but fit acceptably. I had to grind each screw shorter by about 1 thread - but I was using homemade shims from 4mm cutting board from Walmart, not the 4.7mm shims that Skimo.co sells.
Have not yet skied the bindings with the shims, but I remounted the toes with the shims and new screws, and it all went together fine.
