I mounted a pair with the template yesterday and I think the hole pattern for the heel piece is 7 mm too far back compared to the jig.
The result is that the brake assembly will sit too far forward on the base plate rails and have less support than intended.

Not sure what you mean. The heel track is set up on the template so that if you mount for your BCL, the forward pressure adjustment is in the center of the 30mm total adjustment range. This is how all of the templates are set up. If you don't like the BCL where it is by default, you can do a little math and adjust how you mount the heel track.

Re Spare Toe Studs
I'd say 30 out of the 50 odd Shift mounts I've done so have have been done with inserts so I figured I best order some spare studs as it won't be long before I get a call from someone saying they've lost one. They come in pairs including the staked in regular mounting screw but Amer have said that they won't be available until mid/end Feb.
So if you're using inserts do NOT lose a toe stud - well at least not for a couple of months!

This hasn't been my experience with other jigs, and I actually give Salomon props for it. I find most Look and Marker jigs (the only other alpine bindings I've used) put the heel about 2/3 of the way forward on the track (i.e. there is more rearward adjustment available than forward.) This makes for a longer than necessary mounting pattern and, as someone that spends a decent amount of time riding switch, always irked me that said long mounting pattern was robbing me of a centimeter or two of tail flex.

Nah I left this mount in the hands of a shop with a jig.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Can't recall if this has been mentioned here but there's an issue with the Hawx boot when trying to set the toe height on the Shift due to the edge of the vibram rubber sole fouling the black AFD housing on the binding thus preventing the smooth AFD panel on the boot sitting directly on the white sliding AFD of the binding.
Here's the area that catches
And here's the 10 second solution with a razor blade which sorts the problem

Yes, thank you Spyderjon for info! Haven't heard about it and didn't notice that when adjusting AFD. Good job from Atomic with those WTF soles...

I have what I am sure is a dumb question but feel the need to ask.
I just had a pair of shifts mounted (atomic version) and when I was checking out the mounting of the toe I happened to noticed that not all the markings were there. Example the “carbon fused” that is on the wing.
Is it possible that I got a pair that was/are prototype or do you think that it is just a “mis” during the mfg process. Just curious more then anything...

I had a release test done on my Shift/Beast Carbon combo last week. Shop said they couldn't sign off on them because they technically aren't compatible, but they passed the test.. Before I bought the Shifts, I asked several shops if they would work together. 3/5 said yes and the other 2/5 couldn't answer for sure..
I just skied with them for 2 days and had no problems. Only released once when my ski tip got caught in a rut, but no pre-releases or not releasing when they should've.
Anyone else out there rocking this combo or can anyone tell me if it's legit?

'Cause the Masterstep/Quick Step toe inserts have a vertical ridge that protrudes from the perimeter of the boot sole they technically don't pass the AT boot standard but if you see the pic in my post #1016 in this thread you'll see that they don't interfere with the binding at all so you're good to go.

My stock order of 100mm crampons arrived today. The 120mm versions measure 126mm internally but some of the 100mm'ers are a tad tighter with 50% measuring 105mm and the balance 106mm.
