Lightwave bindings adapted to WLF Liquid Force kite board


Lightwave makes a great pair of bindings, but after purchasing them, I realized that my Liquid Force WLF kite board uses non-standard 6.5inch screw spacing. The screws for the Lightwave bindings are spaced at 6in apart.  The bindings have a metal plate through which the screws go through. I wanted to decrease the spacing to 5.5inch, because that would probably keep it stronger as opposed to widening the spacing more. I could just dremel the slot, but that would damage the metal support plate, and possibly make it too thin.

By removing the straps, I was able to use a flathead screw driver to pry up the foam that was preventing the metal bracket from sliding inboard.

Using a screwdriver, I was then able to slide the bracket inboard.

Below you can see the metal bracket slide halfway down the slots, inboard of the binding.

All that was left to do was dremel the plastic slot, which was easy work. The metal bracket remains undamaged, and hopefully so does the structural integrity of the binding.
