I had my first double ejection of the season today. A very small air (3') over a rock into punchy slabby snow. I kept going but the skis with Tectons stayed put. Super clean double E.
Using them with Atomic Hawx 120 XTD.

Fritschi Tecton
Mounted these up today, went pretty smoothly. Impressed overall, seem like a solid binding. The powderguide vipec template was pretty much spot on, but the salomon Mtn lab boot center ended up being 4mm* further back than what the template indicated.
Quick question- looking st the manual, it shows there is a small plastic piece that installs kind of behind the brake. I did not see this piece in the box. The binding appears to function properly - is it possible the plastic piece was already installed and I didn't notice it?
I looked at other pictures of tectons and I can't see any difference between them and my bindings.
As discussed earlier, when the brakes deploy the black tips on the brakes barely clear the sides of the ski. (Using 110mm brakes on 110mm skis). When they are fully deployed they clear easily- it's just during the process that the clearance becomes a factor. I'd use the 110mm brakes on up to a 114mm ski I'd say. You could also bend them pretty easily if you're careful to only bend the outer part of the break arms.

This picture shows the two holes just behind where the brake arms go into the binding where that plastic piece fits. You just slide it in there, and then when you put the brake on the binding the heel piece holds it in place. Prevents snow build-up.
The plastic pieces would have been in a small zip-loc bag with the bindings, maybe the same bag as the different colored inserts.

Wow, that boot toe looks like a pitoned kayak bow.

Not sure if this helps, but Lou did a breakdown narrative on Tecton brake removal, with a lot of pictures that may help answer your question.
It appears however as if the holes that @gavinski91 pointed out weren't in the prototypes Lou used for this post however.

That piece is for the Vipec Evo rather than the Tecton.
To add to the brake size confusion, I (apparently) have 100mm brakes and was planning on bending them, but have them fitted on 118mm skis and they work fine so haven't bothered with the bending.
Is there any official word on how to set the forward pressure yet?

Go back a page or two for brake arm measurements, the arms you received must have been misboxed. There's no way a 100 brake will fit a 118 ski, my two pair of 110 brakes will fit a 116 ski only if the plastic tips are ground at an angle so they spread wider when they hit the topsheet.

So the tecton does not use those pieces?
My understanding for the forward pressure is to get the length close, and keep tightening the forward pressure screw until it is in from flush. Then back off one turn. I always adjust forward pressure without the boot in the bindings (for any binding). Click back in, check the screw's location, and repeat if necessary.

Never mind, they are 110mm, shop guy said they were 100s and I didn't check the box. That makes sense, they brush the sides of 118mm skis but deploy fine.
It confused me at first too but yeah I think the Vipec uses a different brake and the Tecton does not use or come with that piece.
IRT forward pressure, that doesn't seem right, at least on mine the screw does not get more or less flush to a noticeable degree that I can see. I just set it so the top of the cup would touch the back of the boot above the welt, then backed off a mm. Any further than that and the boot won't step in smoothly.

Could some shop rat post the actual Fritschi instructions for setting forward pressure? Please?

Fritschi Tecton
Just got off the phone with BD. Rep said the essentially the same thing as shown in the video - about a fingernail's thickness between boot heel and binding. More important is releasing the toe with the boot clicked in- it should come up smooth and bobble a little. Shouldn't get hung up- otherwise pressure is too high.
Also, he confirmed the Tecton does not use those extra little plastic pieces on top of the brake
