Finally brought the sleds into the garage and tore into the wifes machine. Its a quite tippy for her so I widened it 6 inches each side. I figured why go through all the work for a couple inches. Just have to hole saw a few spots to get the nuts on. Will be 44 inches outside to outside skies. |

Attachment DeletedGot her all together. Just have to widen the tie rods. Looking for some wide spindles to fit this 71 as well, If anyone has a couple to sell that aren't bent ,please message me. Might add a brace to the outer edge of the bulkhead that runs diagonal to the bottom of the side panel, just to keep the bulkhead from coming back if a chance low speed encounter with a tree ever occurs,lol.

Your project looks real nice. I am in the process of building the same sled. I only widened the front six inches total. I have a ski doo suspension with a 139 inch track in the rear. It will be getting a sachs 440. Keep up the good work.

Did a similar project. Mine has a combination of years with involute drive. Ski stance is 41+1/2 to the outside. I did add a brace as shown in photo. It was a fun project can't wait to try it. I have those spindles if you need them. Awsome sled! Ill PM about the spindles !Thanks. |
