Yo, I am going to be mounting my Vishnu wets with these marker 10.0 tp bindings (Ik not pivots😔) but I will be doing it with a friend but I need a paper template, does it matter that they are junior bindings? Or Is it just the din that makes it a junior binding. Are they even a junior binding? But does anyone have a reputable source to find paper templates?

If you need to ask these questions you probably should fork out the $ for a professional to do it. Practice on a beat old ski before doing it on your brand new ski. And yes those are a “youth binding” don’t expect them to hold up.

I used one from here with great results. The binding freedom templates are trash. See if you can find it here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1lpDx4-8PF44Pc08HHNyYY6Gg2a3Dd245

Make sure to check your scaling. Usually it should be 100%.

Use this guide with particular focus on finding centerline:

Put tape over your ski to mark it up. Measure a lot and compare your bindings to the holes on the template.

Good luck

Naw they beat skis and I’m light and young, I used the bindings last season. I’m at like a 5 din so, the friend I’m mounting them with has mounted skis before.

One more thing to point out that just popped in my head: if you don’t have the flared drill bit for ski screws then be careful with putting tape to measure depth on a normal drill bit. Friend of mine said the tape got hot and was sliding (and he didn’t realize) and he accidentally drilled through his base. So maybe mark the bit with a marker

They are not actually a junior or "youth" binding. Standard DIN iso adult numbers fit in there.

I believe those are even sent with the full length "adult" screws

If that's not the case you need a different drill bit (smaller diameter, 3.5 I believe)

Diameter will basically be the same, 3.5 and 3.6 are hardly any different. Apart from the 4.1 diameter bit for metal topsheets, Its the depth that's gunna change. Junior length screws are 6.5 or 7 mm, I can't quite remember.

Adult length screws are generally 9 or 9.5mm

So after reviewing many different sites (tgr) I did not find the “exact binding template” but would there be any difference between these and like the marker jesters. Also on the link above I found the marker 10 free, is that the same binding?

They might be the same but I’d try and verify that first before you add 16 holes to your skis.

Put tape over your skis and mark the template on the tape. Compare the holes to your bindings by overlaying them.

Don’t get slack. You need to be basically within 1/2 minimal

Those bindings look a lot like the free ten...I have a pair about to go on my sons new skis. I fi had to guess I'd say it's the same but it sure is easy to double check. Just put the screws in the binding a little bit and push it down on a piece of corrugated cardboard then overly the template and compare.
