Hello, so i just purchased a m-10 that was installed in a apex and i need some help putting it in. I have a 97 vmax 700sx.. if anyone as any input on putting this skid in it would be great! thanks
 
I don't have the mounting kit. The only thing I have is a couple pieces of aluminum that came with the suspension. What do I need for mounting brackets and where can I get them
s
 
I would call them. I have never had any luck with them and either email or online stuff.
 
Call and tell them u want the new front pivot shaft and bolts. This allows you to use the stock front mount holes under the hood for the skid. Simplifies installation. As for the rear mounts, I made my own out of 2"x3" plate for each side. Drilled holes in the plate. Used the rear skid mounting location on the tunnel to bolt the plate on and drill for m10 mount location, which is just in front of stock mount hole and bolted it up. Did this on both sleds. Simple and fast and have never had to do a retighten of any bolts.
 
My front pivot shaft is the correct length for mounting in original front mounts. As far as the rear goes how far do I drop the rear when I make the brackets? How thick should the brackets be? Does anyone have a pic of what the rear brackets should look like? Thanks for the advise
 
Use green loctite on the tunnel mount bolts(the 10mm or 3/8hex head). It will require heat to remove, but it is the only way I could keep mine tight.
 
The mount kit comes with templates and instructions. Take your time, have a second set of hands to help you.
