Rear skid plate

[Viper!33]

Used the arctic cat plate and am wondering if anyone has had issues with it hitting the a arm on the exhaust side, it fits tightly on the outside but is very close by the a arm. I cannot figure out how to make the pictures small enough to show this.

No. Never had a issue that I noticed. Where is it hitting? Reason I ask is a very small tweak of a-arm or more likely the subframe lower arm attaches to will cause arm to hit skid. Found that out when I replaced my broke arm with new. Had to replace subframe.

The sled has 125ish miles on groomers, I don't think anything is bent, WOOHOO we have pictures

OMG - a true "Yamacat"! Despite it being AC green, the colors look good together!

 

[Viper!33]

I'll have to take some 8 x 10 glossys of the whole sled lol, lots more green, all depends on the light how the AC green looks, wasn't my first choice of the greens, I prefer the pearl, but everything was on clearance so go yamacat

Yes, The contour of my plate didn't match up well in that area. I used a heat gun and pushed in a little on the plastic.

 

[Viper!33]

That's what I was hoping, did you add any other fasteners? I was thinking possibly another mounting bolt to hold it there if I can get it close.

 

[blueironranger]

You can see where I heated the plastic for clearance, can’t remember if I added that bolt or not. I have about 1/4” clearance between the skid and arm now.

 

[Viper!33]

Did the heat gun burn it?

 

[blueironranger]

no, as long as your careful and use the low setting. I heated it enough to make the plastic malleable and pushed on it with a flat piece of metal. It's a type of plastic and can be heated and reformed.

Thank you, I think I'm going to give it a shot

I think I may have had to do that also. Getting old. I can't remember that far back!
