I have a 2020 Senate Lithium ski and I am trying to mount a Radar Vector boot to it. The recommended mounting distance is 29.75 to 30" according to the Radar website. When I use the "center hole" for mounting, the boot is at 31" from the end of the ski. When I slide the boot as far back as possible, the measurement is 30.375 and I only have access to 4 (front and center) of the 6 mounting holes. The two rear holes are not fully accessible to get a screw into them. If I position the plate the furthest back possible and allowing the use of 6 screws, the boot heal is 30.625 from the end of the ski...
.625 over the recommended length seems like an awful lot. Do I need a different plate? The $120 for a sequential plate would be a waste based upon my ability and would be better invested in beer.
thoughts?

I just got mine back from them. Took a few days and everything lines up now. I only paid for shipping to them, nothing else.
I would not discount a sequence plate for your level. I’ve been using one with vectors for a long time and would not go back to individual plates or feather frames. It gives you a larger adjustment range with more resolution and you can still move each binding around separately. In addition you can mount radar bindings to just about any ski with it.
@derfsaint if you are 100% sure that your boots can not be mount at stock, you better contact the retailer or radar. Radar has a great customer service.
Dyson, is that new inserts into the boot or the ski?
Wayne that plate may be the path of least resistance (and I get to buy some cool ski gadget....)
Asking the previous owner of the ski what he had mounted on the ski....
