part# help! the bolt hole oblonged and the bolt missing from rear skid. Looking for part# for the bracket and bolt. Looked at the fiche but unsure. It’s the right side when sitting on the sled. Rear skid mounting bolt and bracket. Also is the bottom hole okay to use? If so how does this change the ride?

I’m getting #8JY-F1954-00-00 for the bracket and #8JP-RA196-00-00 for the bolt.

I’m not sure what the effects would be on a 2017, my 2020 came with suspension on lower hole, I ended up raising it to the upper hole and it lighten the steering considerably so I would think it would add weight to the skis/steering.

After torquing with lock tight I mark all my suspension bolts with a black sharpie. I put a straight vertical line on the bolt head. Then you can glance over them pre ride and see if any have moved and if so re torque.

If it was lower hole or no riding , I would try the lower hole , until a proper fix option can be done .Thanks looks about right. what if I just tried to change mounting to bottom hole?
I stuck a piece of bolt in the egged out part and tightened up and rode for the rest of the season .
Then do what I did and buy a new sled to ride and get the parts to fix the old sled , and then keep promising yourself that tomorrow you will get it fixed , unless it conflicts with riding time (which it does) , and a season has gone by and it is still not fixed , completely , but atleast I have made some progress , so the repair can be finished in the summer , UNLESS , it conflicts with my boating activities ...........
