thanks for the reply, I originally took them to a shop but the C305 fell off the list this year so they wouldn't remount them for me. I was willing to pay.
Modern kids bindings are cheap, you should be able to find clean used indemnified versions for well less than $50.

Success!!!!!!!!!



I got the binding back together, having one of the tangs of the small plastic plate that held the brake arm in broken wasn't a big deal.

I used a small pair of needle nose vise grips to snap the brake back into its channel.

A friend had a jig and set it to 255 the BSL for my child's boot and smacked a center punch into all 7 holes on both skis.

I came home and drilled them and mounted them.

The factory holes were volcanoed , my holes were dead on perfection.

A couple of observations:

The front toe binding has 3 screws, 2 are exposed and the front one that holds the front plastic piece that the binding slides into is hidden. It seems like this one hole was slightly (3-4 mm) too far forward as when I slid the binding into this front plastic piece I had to back the binding off slightly to get the binding to line up with the other two (exposed) screw holes. In other words the biding could have slid a bit more forward. Don't think this is a big deal.

Thanks again to Dwight for sending the drill bit. The bit looks new, like it was never used before and it was really sharp!

Bump....need advice from the wise....
@Doug Briggs @Philpug

Any tricks to sharpening bits?....besides buying new ones.....which I usually just do to start a season at our shop. (have had some 4.1/9.5 on SVST back order for all our metal sticks since Sept.)...

*my 4.1’s are still usable...I just like em the best when they go in beautifully smooth....lol.
