Ski brakes question

This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
Is the ski brake width in the specs the maximum ski width the brake will work with, or the actual centre-to-centre width of the brake? I.e. with a 100mm underfoot ski do I need a 100mm brake or a ~110mm brake?
In reply to Bob_the_Builder: I've got 115mm brakes on a 116mm ski and they "just " fit. Obviously better to go bigger but it'll probably fit.

In reply to Bob_the_Builder: Generally speaking yes though it is possible to bend them slightly so they fit a slightly larger ski.
In reply to Frank4short:

haha it wasn't really a yes or no question...

In reply to Bob_the_Builder:
brake width is the width of the brake.
bare in mind they don't sit at the narrowest point on the ski.

I was looking into this recently and I read somewhere (though I can't actually find it again) that on the whole a brake width quoted as 100mm would fit a 100mm ski, so presumably not measure centre to centre between the brake arms.
