BradFiAusNzCoCaOption 5 but you won’t be fucking with them. It literally will not be noticeable
it's definitely noticeable rn. to be fair they're 95 brake on 98 ski but that really shouldn't be that bad and i have to mess with them 3/5 times probably. on of the plastic bits looks fine but it swivels 180° or so and gets caught. maybe that won't happen on wets because the width difference
I’ve skied them on 95s. If they’re getting caught - just cut them off. The brake works all the same without the plastic

i definitely wouldn't like the idea of falling and having that bare metal spike possibly get me during the rag doll. i think you should replace the brakes (or see if you can even just get a replacement plastic bit on there?)
i think the responses so far have been a little too "no worries bro send it" and that's coming from someone who uses 15 year old broken pivots sometimes
man, you are over complicating this. The brakes are not fucked, the plastic bits / stops are.
suggested order of repair.
1) clean said skis. Lubricate the moving parts. Consider implementing this step regularly.
2) slide the fucked remaining part of the plastic stop down and experiment with making a new plastic bit/stop on the end, be it a ball of electrical tape, a modded cap from a pen or whaterver. Find your inner MacGyver - this is not rocket science.
3) see if you can glue / attach both stops so that they do not rotate. If not glue then a smal strip of electrical tape might prevent the rotation
4) I would also suggest that you consider treating your gear like you want it to last, because - you know - then it might just do that. It might not be the cool bro brah way to use a pole to open said bindings, but a ski's metal edges isn't the tool for the job if you want the bindings to last.

doing the first few steps right now. as for not beating my pivots to death... not gonna happen
dude just get some gorilla glue, that stuff was holding together a split core of mine for like a month. This reminds me of my friends little brother that that finds every excuse in the world to spend money

i fixed them, i was never serious about buying new ones but there are other reasons to do it.
