Proven designs snowflap

[WINDER1987]

Has anyone installed one of these? I have it mounted by the rivets but the directions are vague on the straps did you put the straps on all or just center kind of sucks that it will cover part of the snake with the center strap on and I didn't know this was going to be so huge lol

Be aware, I have seen piles of these and many of them brake off...I would take a stock flap and have it screened before I would add one of these.

Yeah, definitely not the most durable type of flap out there. We buy that plastic in sheets and make our own for our snox sleds. They survive 1-2 race weekends on average. You can use 2 short bungee cords (the solid black rubber ones) and go from either side of the flap to your tunnel if you don't want to use what is supplied.

Do you have a picture is there any other good recommendations for a flap I may cut this one down too quit a bit

Sorry, not sure if these will be the best pics to help you out. One practice sled is apart inside the shop, and the other is outside under a cover. Race sled is not here right now. first pic is the mudflap template; second pic is the sheet we cut them out of; 3rd is a clear view of the rear end where the bungee cord attaches; last pic is a flap installed on a sled.
