Invader Mounting Problem

Iv got a pair of line invaders, they have been mounted once. I manged to pull the binding heel screws out of one of skis. The bindings were Marker M.11 (not very good)

I did it when i crashed on a jump, the brake snapped and the brake pad was all bent and mangled on the binding too. When i did this i was half way down the park so i skied down to the parking lot on it and it skied fine and i didnt notice anything.

I went to my local shop to get a new brake and they told me that the binding was was bent and the screw holes had been threaded so it was either new bindings and a remount or new skis/bindings.

Iv taken the binding off and the screws were threaded, but thats the only damage, the holes are not ripped or mangled

Is it possible to remount in the same holes or remount +1cm/-1cm even though i know its a symmetrical ski and center mount only?

+k to anyone who helps

thanks

I'm a little confused.
If the holes are in perfect shape, why not just use the same holes to mount up your bindings?

If the holes are stripped and will no longer hold a screw properly, you a few options:
1) Remount the bindings. You can mount them where ever you like despite the fact it is a symmetrical ski. However, the ski's flex pattern and shape is designed to work BEST at center mount. Keep that in mind.
2) Purchase a new set of bindings with different mounting heel pattern that what you can still mount center because you'de have to re-drill the holes for the new heel pattern.
3) And honestly the best choice in this situation and what I would personally do is this: https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/564982/

I have a pair of Invaders too. Hopefully this won't happen to me.
Good luck!
