I like the concept! Pretty amazing how you've melded together parts from three different manufactures. Looks like at the rate you are going, you'll have the sled ready to ride this winter!

Thanks !
With the Arctic brake and Lynx skid it will be all five
Ive been on vacation/Parental leave (or what its called in English) for almost 7 weeks and have two more weeks so i had some more time than usual in the garage. we will se how much time i get when i start to work again.
i will make it as Close to done as possible as a Rolling chassie but i still have a Engine and drivetrain to buy.
so i dont Think it will be on snow this season. but you never know...

What's the plan for the exhaust?

Probably to go to the right side and use a muffler of some kind, Plan B is a tunneldump.

Nothing to show pics of today just more repair of the hood.
Today i decided that i will use the Swedish "ASA Suspension" shocks on my build, its a patented shock with no traditional springs.
it has been around for a couple of years but due to several reasons it has not hit the market, but now they are making a drive.
The technology behind it is really clever and simple but it seems to work really well, its been on a couple of snow cross sleds and its almost no maintenace needed on them, one driver has had the same shock for 7 years!? without even a oil change.
There is no rebound or compression adjusters and no shim stack, it "adjust" itself depending on use, so soft when cruising and gets harder when needed.
It sounds to good to be true but im really looking forward to try it out.
The homepage is going to be updated and a facebook page has been started recently.
a pic. of one of the shock models (it wont have the adjuster lever for snowmobile use)

More work on the hood............
Im really intrested in those ASA shocks, Iv seen them on a Lynx Commander (fun/touring/utility sled) and from what I hear they do work but have some issues. I wouldent have chosen those for a longtrack powder sled but heck you might know something I dont..

Assault skid and tie rods arrived today.

Drilled out the spot welds on the drop brackets, the support under the runningboards will not fit the Burandt boards. i will use them to try out the Assault skid and they will be redone later.
