 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'd like to have quiver killers installed on a few pairs of skis but can't find anybody geared up and willing to do it in Vienna, Austria. (Although they have "very kindly" offered to sell me numerous ski touring bindings at €400 a go  )

I'b be prepared to travel to a ski resort within Austria. Can anybody help?

DB, Thought about doing it yourself? I think Jon at ski tuning.com will sell you'll the bits and you could do the work and save some cash. All the prices are on his website.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Never installed a binding myself but a friend used to service skis etc so have thought about getting the gear and letting him do it. It looks like a drill press rather than tapping the threads by hand is less risky though.

DB, the easiest solution would be to purchase all the stuff, including an installation kit, & get your local shop to install them. I've sent a good number of orders out to Austria & that's what most customers have done.
If they won't then QK are pretty easy to install yourself if the skis have already been drilled for the bindings you wish to use as you're simply drilling out & tapping the existing holes. If the skis have to be drilled from scratch you ideally require a jig so you could get your local shop to drill the locations with a jig/binding drill & you can take over from there.
Alternatively if you let me know your BSL I can make a paper template for your bindings & send it with the QK components.
The use of a drill press is definately overkill as the QK drill & tap will follow the line of the existing holes. In fact using a drill press can actually cause problems as a ski's top sheet often curves & you ideally want the inserts perpendicualr to the top sheet which is not necessarily true vertical. If you do a couple of practice inserts in an old ski or piece of timber first you'll be away.
Hope this helps.
