With kimpex no longer offering 2.52 pitch drivers for the old square shafts found on many older sled I've come up with an alternative option. I'm having aluminum bushings made up that will press into a hex shaft driver wheel, and have a square ID to press on to the .875 square drive shaft. Waiting on final pricing for the bushing but estimate being able to sell a pair of 7 or 8 tooth 2.52 pitch drivers with my bushings installed for around $100.
Next phase of my project sled is skid relocate so a std everyday 121" track can be used. Hoping to make some self locating plates which will relocate the skid and allow for a 121" tracks to be used. May even incorporate different sets of holes so other length tracks can be used such as 116
The combination of my drivers and relocate plates should hopefully allow for easier and cheaper revival of some vintage sleds!
I don't get on this site much as I focus primarily on the 4 stroke sleds. With a 3 year old son I've started thinking ahead to his first sled which is what got me into this project. The bravos and enticers are hands down the best sleds out there for young kids to get into the sport.
