Yer gonna die!
Don't do that. The one and only spinner I ever had was after I had too many beers mounting a sth2 heel backward and had to reverse it (i.e. effectively running the screws in and out and in again). But I suppose my sample size of (1) screw is a bit small for a scientific conclusion.

After skiing these in 2 ft of maritime mank yesterday I decided that I made a mistake mounting these forward.
Certain ppl told not to, and other ppl told me I should. Glad that's over.
4$ pack of skewers ftw with the shit I use to seam granite countertops with. Catalyzes in about 10 minutes, could pick the ski up on a single skewer after about 5 Mins.
This is my cast set up and I let the shop mount it the first time... Fuck me I kind of butchered the first toe... Second guessed my template and ended up with a crooked screw or two on the first ski. Blah blah blah it works but not as smoothly as I'd like. I plan on doing some fine tuning with a round file so that I don't have to cuss as much on transitions...
Looking forward to seeing how much better on the Line skis vs hanging ten

How far forward did you mount them?

Does anyone know where I can buy ski drill bits in Denver? I’m liking to do a quick mounting job and want to get my hands on bits ASAP instead of waiting around for mail.
Let me know! Thanks.

Mounted a pair of Attack 14 ATs on Liberty V92s yesterday. Easy as pie. I love that Tyrolia uses the same hole pattern on every binding I've ever used. SkiEssentials review said there were metal mounting plates under the heel/toe of the ski but I didn't see any metal shavings like I usually do when mounting skis with metal. Glad I went with the smaller bit first.

Can't get binding to sit flush on ski
For the life of me I can't get my binding to sit flush on the ski. Trimmed the small volcano with a chisel. Sits flat until I get a couple of turns in then it lifts up just a touch. Can't keep it flush with finger strength, should I clamp it? Still seems like an indication something is up.
Advice?

Standard Nato round - surely you have a box of those stashed somewhere?

Not sure I agree with this.
If it sat flush, then moved, it will move more. And, depending on how you ski, leverage on a tele binding can be considerable.

I'm wasn't sure if a screw could be pulling up a metal sheet/plate without creating a visible volcano. But yeah, if the heel is threaded, sounds like chupacabra is on the right track.
If there is a thread channel already established in the hole in the ski, and if the screw has no freedom to rotate in the binding hole without advancing (due to being threaded), then it will lift the binding heel just slightly as the screw threads take a moment to line up with the threads in the hole. Conversely, if you clamped it in this situation, you'd just ream out the existing threads and have a nice spinner to show for it.
All of the above spoken authoritatively, but based only on imagining your issue in my mind's eye. Take it with according number of grains of salt.

Agreed, drill the holes out on the bindings until the screws spin freely in the binding holes. This is a common issue on older Dynafits, and also on the rear two holes of Tyrolia Attacks.

Mounted my own fuckin skis last night.
191 k2 mindbender 99ti with p18 on the line.
Drilled, tapped & epoxied.
Hoping these are a solid daily PNW driver for non pow days.
