Rossi P14 Issues

So my friend has some P14's mounted on some race skis that have this wierd demo/racer plate. I'm wondering if i can take off the lifter under the track to make it more usable as a park binding. The things are a pain in the ass to get off the lifter so i don't want to try until i know it will work. Here are some pictures...

i dont think you can take them off the gay demp plate thing. there was only one pair of pivots at this shop last year but they were demo bindings and i asked the guy if i could take them off and he said nope. maybe he was an idiot though

there are two plates on the skis, the bottom one looks unnecessary for park, but the top one (the shorter one) is (I believe) necessary as that's what attaches to the ski. You could take both skis to a shop and they'll be able to take it demount and remount them properly.

in your last picture, the metal plate on top is required to mount, if you dont have this you can secure the binding to the ski. the other part(plastic on the bottom) is not needed, its just a riser for racing so that the racer can get more lean in their turns.
make sure that the shop tech grinds the screws down so the don't go through your ski

correct
metal top plate=key for proper function
plastic bottom plate=useless lifter
Again its is VITAL that you make sure the screws are short enough or else you will have big problems if they dont get ground down

So i mount the metal plate directly on to the ski? Makes sense... K+ for all. 8mm is standard depth correct?

yes, metal plate gets mounted to the ski and then slide the heel on. Not sure of the correct length of screws, i thought it was different for each binding. I rock p14 also, good luck

Can you bend the brakes the same way you do the FKS brakes?

Yes bend brakes the same as fks
And though I dont know about the depth you should definitely mount the metal directly to the ski. Your toes might have a plastic plate too so check and make sure the two pieces are the same height
