"Custom" Rov mount possible?

[BergHawken]

So im sitting here with a brand new Oft rov kit for the Nytro.
Would it be possible to mount this on the Viper?
Some kind of cutting and splicing would be neccesary.
Or is the whole project a no-go due to the fact that the Nytro uses a normally closed tether. And The Viper a normally open one.<not sure about this)

Viper is normally closed also. I think a lot of cutting and splicing would be needed. Probably better off getting a new one and selling yours to a Nytro guy.

Cannondale27 is correct. There are actually several differences between the two wiring harnesses and where they tie into the sled.

Perhaps more importantly though is how the valve is attached on a Viper. Due to space limitations in the Viper it requires that the valve be mounted somewhat horizontally. During long term testing we found that this mounting location requires a higher voltage to consistently close the valve over time.
This is one of the reasons why we use a ROVCM (with it's variable voltage output control) in the Viper kits. In other words it may work OK at first without a ROVCM. However as you put miles on the sled, the valve may not close consistently unless there is a ROVCM in the circuit.
Below are a couple of pics that show the differences between the two wiring harnesses.

Unfortunatly the Nytro market is dead in Sweden so selling is not an option ( i have one Nytro also)
Since its only two wires to control Oft:s relay i will do a little more research before i rule out this idea.

I believe you about the angle of the valve, even on the Nytro the key to a working valve was to keep it clean and without oil sludge.
No companies in Sweden that i know of has rov for Viper. And ordering from US gets a little bit to expensive and takes to long.

Thank you both for your replys, i have been hanging around for four years before my first post :-D
