Just bought a 1986 Bravo for my daughter, but I noticed it is a little tippy. Funny, when I was 14years old, I thought that front end was wide and stable compared to my elan. My question, is does someone make a kit or something to make the ski stance wider on the Bravo. I know years ago, (were talking decades... LOL...) I bought one for my Elan and I believe it widen the front end, by a couple of inches. Any help?
 

I widened the ski stance on my vintage 76 Pantera.Simply got some steel plate,cut it out to size,drilled holes to move ski's out more.I ended up with 4 " or more I believe and she doesn't have that tippy feel to it and still steers well.

Make sure you check your toe out(not yours).the toe out of the ski's..I didn't at first and was way inward to much.So I reamed the holes a little larger so I can wiggle the plate more one way until I got about 1/4"toe out.Before I did this,it was like 1 " toe in..lol.Good if you plough snow I guess.
