I read this entire thread to try to decide what type of inserts to use, and I think I am going to go with Brass, because my old ski (to be retrofitted with a new hole pattern) might see some saltwater.
I'm wondering what exact type of E-Z LOK insert I should be using:

Threaded inserts for metal or wood, even though it is going into neither of those? Inserts that are non-threaded for going into plastic?
I'm having a hard time telling what to do here. I am going to be attempting to put a modern hole pattern into a few old Connelly wide-body skis.
Also, I know that when drilling Alpine and Cross Country snow skis for a certain hole pattern, a jig is typically used. (I did a whole bunch of snow skis some time ago, so I just purchased the jig.) Does anyone make a jig with the modern front waterski binding hole pattern, or a jig with the modern rear Connelly binding hole pattern?
thanks in advance!
