Awesome Bud. Wo is doing your CAD work? Great stuff there  :P ::)

I just orderd a couple of those seats for my upcomming builds. There the sama as my Cuda. I love them. My question is on the mounts. Are those the purchased ones out of Summit? I considered buying those a well. Were they easy to install and worth the cost? Are they heavy duty enough? If so Ill be buying some as the price is right. Less work for me as well. One thing off the list you know.

I got mine from JEGS, pretty cheap unless you get the ones from Kirky. then you pay a bit extra for the name.

they are really all the same, simple aluminium seat  brackets. I mounted mine to a set of sliders, the wife's legs are a little longer than mine :o

So, I blew up my sled yesterday.

I haven't pulled the head yet, but it acted just like my moto when I melted the piston on that. I was pinned, roled off the gas,slowed from 90 to 40, then went to hit it again and it wouldn't rev. I looked at the gauges no idiot lights were on. stoped the motor. opened the hood and it was hot as hell. I let it cool a bit, tried the pull start and it was siezed. after a coulpe more tries it turned out and started but it didn't sound good. so we towed her in. it was a bad day for sleds 4 of us went out and only 1 returned. my shop manager and I have the same sled SkiDoo Rev 800, his started on fire along with his boot. it was pretty funny to watch. he had no idea he was on fire till we taold him, and even then it took a moment or two to sink in.

I found out today the piston and cylinders are smoked goodie goodie.  ::)

on the buggy front! motor is in(top mounts), and the wife and I started working on the sub frame for the bottom of the motor and tranz. super happy with the way it is looking. I'll post pics tomorrow. 

my axles will be swept forward a little bit, is this ok? I'm running F150 CV's...

If you have to have a problem, this sounds like a really good one to have!

got some work done on the buggy since I couldn't take the sled out. 

I still need to finish the templates for gussets, mounts for the bottom of engine and the mount for the tranz.

If you keep the sled broken you'll have a buggy for spring. ;)

The only thing with running a third gear 1) you lose more cooling time 2) I did it with sprockets and you have to get right on or it will wear big time.

I would think you would gain time because you could make the chain longer??
