Hi.
Help me out here, Im a virgin Snowboarder and my son is getting into boarding.
Hes bought a board and bindings off ebay but the screw holes in the board are 80mm apart whereas the bindings are smaller.
Are there different size bindings to boards?
Can I get a diferent circle piece for the bindings or does he need to get a different set of bindings?
Sorry if these sound easy questions to you guys, but any help is really apreciated.
I could post a photo if that helps.

binding holes are set in rows about 40mm apart - usually a row of eight. the holes in the bindings are usually set in a square pattern with a weird extra set so that you can put them on a trianglar pattern (for burton boards).
try this - see if you can see a set of holes on the bindings which would give a square of 40mm. drop screws in to the "middle" hole in each run on the binding plate. then try holding that over the board - it shoulkd all make sense now........... hopefully.
if not do you have a local shop/slope - try taking it there and begging.

You might have a Burton board, and a binding that only has a traditional 4-hole pattern?
i.e. the board looks like a bit like this.

Is that what you've got, or similar?
If you're mixing and matching Burton kit and non-Burton kit you might be able to get a baseplate ("circle piece") from the binding manufacturer that will fit.

Hi
The board holes are slightly different -
There are 2 curved rows of 4 holes and 2 middle rows of 4 holes. 80mm apart.
The bindings are the same as your sketch at 40mm apart.
I can get 2 of the 4 holes aligned with the board but thats all, which probably isnt enough.
Will take it down to the local shop and see what they sugest.
Thanks for your ideas.
Its really apreciated.

You know it makes sense.

Sounds like a really, really, really, really, really old board with inserts for some of the baseless bindings which were around in the mid-90's.

Nice!, if he offers to buy your art don't forget to send your bank account details and a copy of your birth certificate to his Lagos clearing house.
