Senior_Technical_Writer Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi, I've got a pair of Burton bindings (Carriers or Physics???) with a broken toe piece. I'm looking to buy a replacement plastic piece (see pic). Or, do I need to buy a whole new bail? I am not sure if it is possible to replace just the plastic part. Thanks a lot. Color does not need to match; just work. - Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 The are likely Performance plate (with an aluminium plate undereath). The toe and heel bails are not replaceable as they are riveted in place. That is unless you replace the rivets with screws and locking nuts, but I'm not sure if this is safe.

Senior_Technical_Writer Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks, Derf -- much appreciated. So, does anyone have one performance plate like this that they'd like to sell? ;-) It doesn't need to match. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpyride Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I will be leaving for Whistler at 10 am. There will be no way to get a hold of me till tonight. I may be able to get my friend in back of me to mail this thing maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowghost Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 To Bumpyride. Hi "stranger" will take your left over binding if price is right and Senior_Technical_Writer doesn't buy it. Have been using an old variplate toe piece, "filed out" a little wider in the slot, for years on the same binding that you have. Would be nice to have a replacement. Best regards, "Ghost". Enjoy Whistler and take care of your Rib. General info: (re: Senior_Technical_Writer) Almost any "plactic/rubber" toe piece that screws off the bail will work as a temporary replacement if you have this problem with old Burtons. Make sure the toe clip has an "adjustment screw" in the toe piece for best fit. Burton increased the thickness of their bail around 1993-94. Sometimes you have to file the slot a little wider, depending on the thickness of the bail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior_Technical_Writer Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 bumpyride: How much do you want for the binding including the shipping to Madison, WI? (sorry for the slow respose, btw). Snowghost: hey, thanks for the tip about the toe piece. I might have to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowghost Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 This is funny. You are in Madison, Wi. I'm in Delavan, Wi., and ran the snow board program and USASA contests at Tyrol Basin for lots of years - and we meet up on bomber. Hope the toe piece tip works for you. I just played around while watching the Oscars. A Snowpro SP race toe clip fits perfectly, without filing, on the same maroon Burton performance binding that you have in your picture. Have fun, "ghost" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I had the same busted toe clip issue on a pair of these bindings. Have one of the "rental" adjustable bindings (with the exact same maroon toe bail) that still has a good clip, but it's mate bit the dust. Also have two replacement bails and clips from klug which I bought before I figured out the binding was riveted and couldn't be fixed. Make me a reasonable offer and all or part of this will be yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
