Quiverkiller experience in Seattle?

Does anyone know any ski techs in Seattle that have experience mounting Quiverkillers?

I already have the hardware, I just need someone to mount some skis.

Thanks

I install QK's myself. I think they work well for a "tele-mount". You definately have to check the screws for tightness regularly if you're going to use inserts to mount any binding.  Proski advertises that they install QK's on their website.  I'd bet they do a good job on the install, but I don't have personal knowledge of that since I install my own....

edited to add: I also use the binding freedom brand of inserts...

FWIW: for DIY installation I like Binding Freedom inserts a little bit better. They have a slot that a bladed screwdriver fits into so you can back them out in the event that they don't thread exactly correct on the first attempt.

This is also useful for making a practice mount on a 2x4 before drilling large holes in an expensive ski and for eventually moving the inserts to a new pair of skis after the old ones are thrashed.

Slow cure epoxy is superior ( 1 hour or more ) for glueing the inserts.

West System G flex 650 epoxy is the best I've found. Unfortunately the smallest package has 8oz of epoxy, which enough for a dozen skis at least.

Add one for the Binding Freedom - the screwdriver slot is useful, though otherwise they're identical to QKs. I've installed my own when I've done it - pretty straightforward. An inexpensive drill press (or access to one) makes it even easier.

Do folks use the jig that Binding Freedom sells? Or use any old jig?

I made a jig out of 1/2" clear polycarbonate on my drill press to make drilling multiple pairs of skis easier. (I'm a cabinetmaker btw, so I don't pay people to do stuff that I can do myself)

 

FWIW I've had good results installing inserts into the old screw holes of normally mounted bindings. File off any volcanoes around the screwholes first , the the existing holes make decent pilot holes for the insert drill bit.

I've done a Binding Freedom mount myself. If you get the drill block you can locate the inserts dead on the location of existing holes. The drill block also comes with a sharp tipped pin that I've used to locate the block on a paper template. It works well. Shit I just realized I'm moving and you can buy the drill guide off me for peanuts. tell me SOON, cause I hit the road tomorrow and movers are picking stuff up right now.

All that said, I've also had Pro Ski on Aurora do a complicated mount involving TTS with inserts and they did a good job. Pro Ski in North Bend used a quick set epoxy which really turned me off of insert mounts at the North Bend location. I want a long cure epoxy for those things, but maybe I'm just anal about it. Again, I'd definitely recommend Pro Ski on Aurora in Seattle.
