Before I install the coil spring rail mounted scratchers I was hopeing for find a picture of a good spot. I searched many posts but couldn't find anything that hit the nail on the head.
I definitely want them on the rails. I read the Idler wheel adapter bends that RSI or Yami sells. Basically a bolt I guess. Read Pioneer had a mount for the Idler wheel but I can't find it at his site. I emailed him this morning. Problem is I want to mount it as far as possible of course. Tight up there in front.
Any ideas would be helpful before I start drilling.

I mounted mine on the inside of the ski bolt, works awesome! I mounted them there because the only spot on the skid that I could see enough room to mount would be over halfway back, thought to myself, that would be a good spot to mount them for my buddy riding his Apex behind me, he would benifit from them more than I would, lol!!

I ended up installing them just behind the second wheel. There is a bolt there that joins the layers of rail. I drilled it out to 3/8". I took the 2nd wheel off and drilled a 1/4 " hole for the spring end. The spring end hole goes right near the V in the rails. But I had to bend the spring straighter to be able to hook it onto the rail behind the Arm bolt. My wifes LTX was totally different.
