Desperate For A Hood

HoldMyBeerAndWatchThis · Oct 7, 2021

Well I fell into a project. I found a old wedge chassis with a 1128 Price in it and decided to restore it over the summer.

I got it pretty much complete with some help with the boys at Riderz in Edson but now I need a hood. Does anybody have a line on a BRtech hood or the mold? with the size of the pipes it would be nice to have the BRtech hood that has 4 vents instead of 6, but in reality I need a hood so any thing would be better than nothing. Or does anyone know of a place that can fix this one?

As you can see pretty much done and would be a shame to not put finish it properly. If anyone has some options or ideas I’m open.

Also a big thanks to all the people at Riderz, they have been so great to work with. Everyone from the owners to the mechanics and everyone in between are great people and so helpful all the time.

He's out. He had his old sled on Kijiji a couple months ago.

You could wire weld the hood up, just make some long "W"s out of stainless wire and heat them up with a torch, then push into the plastic. They make a fancy gun for it but I just use pliers and a blow torch and do it on the inside of the hood where you don't see it.

Haha, that’s funny, I called him first to see what he had. He’s currently out of stock. Lol

what kind of HP would that triple make?

HoldMyBeerAndWatchThis · Oct 9, 2021

No dyno numbers but should be 240-245

Longhairfreak · Oct 9, 2021

No luck on a hood. I will keep looking though.

Nice job. Reminds me of my 95,800 Storm. Did you try JT’s Snowmobile Repair in New Lowell Ontario? They used to make hoods there and maybe still do…

Summitric · Oct 9, 2021

What about Canadian motor sports in Edmonton? He had quite a few oldies there

Caper11 · Oct 9, 2021

Have you tried Mad Motorsports?

rknight111 · Oct 9, 2021

Or even Ken at Mountain Magic.

Snowmobile Recyclers in Okotoks area

No, but I will now. I’m this far in, I’m ok with getting a hood made, I just need to find someone that is old school enough to do the sled justice.

They will be the next call after the long weekend.

Yes, they have some stock hoods. Which is good but I was really hoping to find a custom one or some insight to someone who still capable of making a hood to bring this sled to its former glory.

and I have talked with Ken quite a bit, he has no leads but is supposed to be finding me a windshield.

Longhairfreak · Oct 11, 2021

I believe I purchased the last 3 in North America.

HoldMyBeerAndWatchThis · Oct 11, 2021

Someone has to have a line on what happened to the BR tech mold? I heard they sold it but the trail runs cold after that. If I can find a mold I should be able to get one made if I can find a good glass guy.

NoBrakes! · Oct 11, 2021

There was a hood guy in ontario the powermodz guy was working with. Maybe a reverse mold off yours And turn it into a sick clear lexan one lol

or find Rick Rysling’s phone number? Digit9
