there is a guy on tgr who can help you out i think.
corn dog
he got me a tt7 heel for like 10 bucks.
its a steel brake in it though, so it doesn't match color wise. but i could care less.

other than that though. you're sol i think. i have tried just about every way to get a hold of that brake and you cant because they don't make replacements for it. bout the only thing you can do is ask your local race shop if they have any old heels lying around. my shop had one, but they wouldn't let the brake go un fortunately.

e bay is a good place to. old tt bindings go across there pretty often. good luck man.

I've had several pair of FKS brakes in and out many times for bending and whatever. Just let me know if someone has a pair. Thanks.

taking brakes out is not that difficult. i just did it today for the first time, and i didnt have any problems. finding a pair is definately harder!

Getting an old pair is pretty much the only thing you can do, I doubt distributors even carry spares. Maybe convince them to call the factory but don't count on them even having some.

zr's, tt7's, tt9's all have the same brake as the current FKS. The only difference is they are about 3 cm shorter

It snowed in Mammoth yesterday. Desperation is setting in. Even if you only have one and not a whole set, let me know!
