Not really sure where exactly to stick this thread so if a mod wants to move it go right ahead.

What I need is the measurements from the factory ski saddles off of an Apex or Viper, the newer style Yamaha plastic ski with the aluminum saddle. I need the width mostly but cant hurt to have the length either. I have a set of the original style plastic ski's off of a 98-99 SRX with the block in the middle and need the newer ones without it but not sure if they will fit in the ski. Hole locations are irrelevant.

Thanks for any and all help!
 

i will be visiting my viper tomorrow, i will bring a tape measure along.

spindle mount location may be relevant for some what of a balance or bias as would location of the saddle fore and aft on the ski

i have a hunch your navigating through uncharted territory, i would consider as many baselines as possible.
 
17 X 3 1/2 is your answer i know what u are doin here is a pic so u can see the difference

Hey thanks a lot! Now I can get them ordered. I'll make em work either way.

I've made as many measurements as I can as far as the location of the bolt holes. I just need the lower saddles and will modify them to fit those ski's.

i fabricated mounts that fit those skis and the tss struts. ran them strictly in straight lines, dont know how they would hold up in a trail application.

made them from 3/16 alum 3" channel. still have them around if you want a visual.
 
I have a pretty good idea of what I want. Just waiting for some more parts so I can make it happen.
