Inserts - Where to buy

[kfennell]

I need some threaded inserts for my RS-1 I need to make it match up to the FM bindings I just got, and I dont want to pay $70 for the plate when i can just drill the ski.

 

Where can I buy the threaded inserts, preferably ones with an install tool or a slot for a flat screwdriver on the top. Need to have them here by friday.

 

Thanks

Lowes doesn't always have them, none in my area did. I ordered a bag of 50 from Amazon last season and had them in less than a week. If you were local to me I would give you some for free.

I would sugest not drilling into a modern ski.. the top sheet of carbon will not with stand the stress that can be put on it from a binding. Is it possible to drill the plate to match the hole pattern in your ski?

It is a FM quattro rear mount onto a Radar RS-1. Is that ski carbon? I thought it was before that really started up. There is no way to drill it, but I could buy the $30 adapter plate from FM
