75mm binding too wide for my boot

"I don't feel like plugging and redrilling, or having the pins 1cm further forward."

Well that'll reduce your options. All I can rcommend is replacing the Villom's, that's a big gap to try to correct. Bending the sidewalls won't work.

As you stated previously, the fit may not matter much for the intended use on the asnes woodies in mostly flat terrain. I tend to agree. Look at nnn bindings. No sidewall there. If the duckbill is clamped tightly, should be little side to side movement,as long as pinholes are in good shape. I use smile plates on all my 3pin boots for that reason. Just my 2 cents, and maybe not even worth that.

Mike, don’t f up those sweet Crispi leathers. I’ll mail you some Douvre (spelling could be wrong) three pin bindings I took off an ancient Europa 99 ski. I’ll check if the binding fits my Alaska 75 when I get home. I’m not sure if the binding will match the screw pattern on your ski, but it didn’t match a Voile 3-pin.
I get that wood skis are cool. Once you jank up the pin holes on those Bre, they’re janked. All the kings horses and all the kings men aren’t making the holes unjanked again.

Too many standards:

@fisheater is right about not skiing them. Got some nice long vintage skis with Rottefella 79mm bindings this spring. Remounted. No way am I putting my Bres in those things. The anodized Villoms and Rottefellas do look nice on wall skis though.

@fisheater, thanks but I don't know if that is necessary, maybe save the postage... I do have EMS 75mm that have the same hole positions and are actually 75mm and fit the Bre nicely, so I guess I will just use those. My issue was that while the holes line up, the pins are about 1cm up, though I guess a 1cm forward pin line isn't a huge deal. So these Villam are likely 79mm and are pretty much worthless then?

Unless they install some Smilie plates. But I agree, don't try those boots in those bindings.

Actually @fisheater what do the Dovre look like and how do they fit the Alaskas? Dovre made 71, 75 and 79mm bindings, some with 3 screws, some with 5. If they look good and fit I'd send you postage fees. The EMS I have are very light but also seem kinda fragile and aren't the best looking, and this ski deserves a stylish binding haha.
