Erik J Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I don't have a source for springs but maybe this will help short term. From the carvers almanac For older model years of the TD1, the heel bail on regular bindings and toe bail on step-ins would tend to flop away from the binding, making binding engagement a bit frustrating. Newer TDs have a spring on the bails to keep them from flopping away. To add springs to the old models, you can buy a conversion kit from Bomber. You need to order a TD2 spring, a TD1 spring-enabled sole block, a TD2 spring-enabled lug nut, and a TD2 long shoulder bolt. You might also need to file down the side of the TD1 base plate a bit, since the new arrangement will need more clearance. Other methods that people have used the keep the bails from flopping down: Attach your leash to the bail, then pull on it to get the bail to stay up while you engage your boot. Wrap a rubber band around the bail and tie it off to keep the bail up. Add an o-ring or a piece of vinyl between the shoulder bolt and the binding to add friction. Remove the bail, bend it inward or outward, and then put it back on. The tension will keep it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
