144" skid on a Viper chasis

[Viper_Jim]

I'm going to be starting a project soon to install a 144" skid from an 03 Mtn Viper into my 04 stock 121" Viper.

I'm getting all the necessary brackets and tunnel extension parts, my question is, how do I know howto place the holes for the longer skid? Is there a template available? I've never attempet anything like this before...

I know many of you have done this so your input would be great, thanks

I have a Viper Mtn Tunnel hanging in the shop if you would like me to measure it.

 

[Viper_Jim]

That would be great! Do the tunnels have the same dimensions?

Wow! This is funny because I bet the tunnel Ding has in his shop could be the one I sold him about 4 years ago. Now I'm probably going to be sending Viper Jim the 144" parts that he's looking for. Just seems like a coincidence.

I told you I was slow . . .

Got the measurements, but something doesn't add up. I better check my measurements again. Anyway I was putting together a simple MS Paint Drawing and the measurements

 

[Viper_Jim]

Thanks! That would be very convenient b/c right now I have nothing to go by

Here is what I have so far . . .

I have to go out for a while but will remeasure when I get back . . .

EDIT: I have re-measured and made some adjustments . . .

Be aware that your installation varies a bit from theirs.
