I tried the method for the fks and it doesnt really work b/c you can't get the horizontal piece of metal in the vice becuase of the plastic encasing. Should i just take the plastic off or what.
not finding anything...
Here's how I bent mine.
1. Get a vice.
2. take an old ski pole (if you have a heavy ass old steel one then you're super in luck) and cut off the end so its just the handle and about 7 or 8 inches of pole.
3. Put one side of the brake in the vice. take the ski pole, stick the end of it on the other end of the brake and just eeeeeaaaaase (and i mean slowly ease) the brake to the point where it's straight if not almost straight. then repeat on the opposite end. be careful as fuck though... this is why i say EASE.
4. Now measure how wide you need it, and make symmetrical marks on each side of the now 'straight legged' brake so you know where to make the next bends.
5. stick the brake in the vice so you can bend the ends at a proper 90 degree angle along these marks. then check to make sure it fits right over your ski.
6. attach. go skiing.
shit. i are retarded. durrr dee durr.
I read P15 for whatever reason and automatically assumed it was the fks. not to mention i basically just told you how to basically bend brakes which you probably already know wtf is up. *facepalm* This is what I get for smoking weed in the wee AM.
anyways.... eh.. in this case.. that plastic casing is a bitch and 1/2. you kinda want it there because i think it stabilizes the brake in place... I remember bending an old pair of p12 jibs by just squeezing the whole thing into the vice sideways so that the centre of the brake mechenism is being fully pressed together into the same position it would be if you were clicked into your bindings... and then I just bent them into place from there...
whatever i'm being no help at all..
