Thanks for the reply, but it looks like you cut holes in the ski's and mounts to make it work, what about snow coming up there or debris? what keeps the ski from flopping around now without the rubber bushing under them? I have a set of those exact ski's I want to use but not sure about the hole.

Here's how I did mine, post #99 I cut the rubbers to fit and they don't flop around. http://www.totallyamaha.net/forums/threads/97106-New-project-91-Phazer-II-boondocker-144-quot/page10

I just milled out about an 1/8 in the plastic, not through them. And then obviously in the mount too.

ok, i looked at your pic and it looks like you cut a piece out of the ski and never used a rubber

Nope, no rubber.

I may try to make a new saddle mount to make mine work, I don't want to chop up too much and want the rubber there to keep the skis from flopping around, I will see how it goes, thanks

That a good idea. Have your fabed mounts have the same clearance as the stock steel skis. Basically just a higher mount point.

Do you have access to any U channel stock?

Or have an tig welder in your back pocket.
