Binding hole pattern: Jester 16 and Duke PT 16

[fencejack]

I was hoping someone can either confirm or direct me to where I can find out if the hole pattern between these two bindings are the same? I'm effectively looking to see if I could remove a Jester 16 and just replace it with a Duke PT 16 using the same holes. I'd like to avoid having to redrill. Thanks in advance.

This is what I have. Heels are the same:

Much appreciated. I'm thinking of installing inserts so i can switch between the two bindings so I have the option to two between two skis.

Was considering a similar project but is there enough clearance between the toe screws to do this safely? Looks like there are three holes in a row close up front, back toe piece PT holes about a cm away from the front jester holes , then a bit over a cm from the back Jester holes.

Dont think this necessitates a new thread so hope folks dont mind asking here. Anyone know if next seasons new Jester X will have the same mounting pattern as past Jester Griff Royal fam bindings?

About the inserts idea:
The Duke PT toe pattern is the same as an alpinist toe, but shifted foward quite a bit. From the slidewright diagram it looks like 31mm between centers of Duke PT holes. So if you align the Jester holes right in the middle of those (which obviously would keep you inside your adjustment range in the heel, and throw the mount point off by like a mm or something), then you'd have 15.5mm between insert hole center. BF claims their inserts are 7.8 mm in diameter and you should have 5 mm between them, so
screw radius + 5mm distance + screw radius = 12.7 mm < 15.5 mm.
So unless I&#39;m making some mistake it should be fine? Others here definitely know inserts better than I do, maybe they&#39;re okay having them much closer than 5mm apart as well?

Hadn&#39;t heard of a Jester X before, do you mean something like

this? If so that just looks like a repainted Jester.

https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/t...thread?page=18 No, theres a new Jester X Mwerks (along with a Griffon version) coming out with a lower stand height, possibly a fixed metal afd vs the current sliding one, and a shorter construction. Thinking about it, my guess is the mounting patter will probably be different if theyre advertising a shorter construction.
