If this is a dumbass question forgive me, but Id rather ask here than take them to the shop and have them tell me they need to pull the attacks off to line up the jig and see how the holes matchup. Does anybody know from experience how far the mount position needs to be moved swapping from attacks to pivots? I know the 5mm rule but wondering how the screw holes match up. someone make my day and tell me the screw holes line up perfectly so i dont haev to move the mount position at all

This...I think there may even be a template that shows several popular mounting patterns superimposed atop one another. I'll see if I can find it.

i went from fks mounted for 25/25.5 294mm bsl length and went down a full boot size (284bsl). current mount wouldn't work and remounting at center the holes were too close. ended up re-mounting with attacks and was perfectly fine....you should be good

looking at the pdf of the template overlap it looks like it’s possible with about 4mm of clearance between screw holes only moving my mount position a couple of mm but not sure if the shop will let their tech mount them that close

See if you can get closer to a cm. Moving the mount back (or forward provided they aren't center mounted already) a cm or two isn't going to have a huge impact.

The toe holes will be the only thing that might make you move +/- 1cm. Pivot heel holes never really get in the way in my experience
