Re: Cutting/trimming aluminum

Not sure on the specs, its a kit from specialty sleds so glengine could supply the exact measurements. Went to a 154x16x2.5 track off an XP. Got my big wheel axle and I'm trying to find some 8" billet wheels. Alot to choose from.

Take a look at CR Racing's billet wheels, they have the rubber edge. I believe Chad told me He bought out Clear Performance.

Got mine from this guy. Really nice workmanship, good guy to deal with. Canadian company out of Ontario, no shipping across the border and canadian prices. Snow does not seem to stick to my wheels either, some others have had this problem with aluminum wheels (guess I'm lucky?).

He can make other designs if you wants something unique too.

I've noticed on some other idlers that snow sticks, thats why I was leaning towards billet with replacable rubber. I'll give this guy a call. Says he puts together packages. Thanks for the link

I think he was making some teflon or urethane coatings, like I said, mine don't seem to stick. I polish my wheels once a year with good wax. You could have them clear powder coated too, which would keep the snow from sticking too.

Re: Cutting/trimming aluminum

The chain case cup comes pre-welded. Yeah I should clean the clutches, I still have work to do on it. I found out the 154 won't work with my drivers so I'll just put the 159 and extend the rails and tunnel.
