WOW, this is an older thread LOL! Mike, I had to fab and mount 4 plates inside the tunnel and fab and mount a stiffener to the outside of the tunnel. Lot's of drilling, layout, fabrication, and old rivet removal. BUT, it was well worth it!!

Thx Dave!!!!!
And now I remember you set back a 136" skid, so of course you had to drill!!!!
But what if you wouldn't have set it back like you did; what if you'd have just had a 144" Expert, could you have used the standard Attak mounting holes?
What are good skids for off trail that can use the same mounting holes as the Mono, if any even exist.....
Thx!!!!!!

Totally different mounting points. Don't know of any skids other than stock that will bolt right in. And I would have had to drill the 136 mounts as well. It isn't difficult as much as time consuming. I'm too fussy. I quadruple checked ALL layout points using 2 different sets of instructions. Used Boivin's AND the RX1 install from the Tech pages to cross reference.

Dang! I regret I am simply not confident enough in my mechanical abilities to do that on my own -- I'd probably drill the hole in a wrong spot or somethhing!!!!!!!!.
You ever hire yourself out to do install work?
Thx so much Dave!
