Rear heat exchanger

[Super Sled]

Nice work Paraclete !!

If it makes the last post feel better, im considering running an ice ripper track with out any tunnel protectors. I'm pretty sure I'd be okay......

Do you need the protectors if running an Ice Ripper track? This is with a heavy rider also....

I know the regular studs extend a lot more above the lug then the studs on a prestudded ice ripper track.I would still go with being safe with protectors.

That looks great and I like the way it connects to the rear piece where the snowflap is .I bet it stiffens that area which seems weak on my sled.I decided to drop the tunnel protector becauce it looks like it was hitting about a foot forward on a support.Then I screwed a piece of plastic to the bottom of the rail to give me the 1 1/2"of protection.

I saw that the track had been nicking the metal about a foot in front of the HX.So I thought that it would be a good idea to hang the protectors lower as in my post .Bad idea! the new track that I installed after hits the protectors there. If you look at the attachment it shows how little clearance there is at that location with the the spacer removed.So do not put spacers in the front but in the rear it is fine with the 3/4" of nylon screwed to the protectors.The other thing was that the protectors are stiff and I had to use a C-clamp to pull the protector up to the tunnel before I could put a screw and nut on to secure it.
