Has anyone messed with building wheel or penetration skiis for our rebel?

If anyone could point me somewhere I would appreciate it. Thanks, Craig
I built a set of skiis that I shamelessly copied from the avid flyer
webpage. Avid is gone but I think you should still be able to google some
pictures. My origional mount had the skis hinged below the axle but this
week I drilled the ends of the axles for a 3/8"pin and have plans to
rebuild my skis a bit wider and hinge on ends of the axle. I also have
moved the die spring attach point up above the axle to expose the inboard
end.

How about some photos, Drew? If you have any you can send them to snowyrvr@mtaonline.net
I was loking at the skiis on Wayne's site; I don't know if they are homemade or not but I liked them.

Hi Craig I uploaded some pictures of my skis and what I have done to my
axles to the landing gear section in the files. I still have to widen my
skis and I don't know if what I've done will work or not. The origional
mounts worked well with my narrow wheels and 6:00-6 tires I have to try
something different in order to use my wide wheels and 8:00-6 tires.

Yep.. they're "homemade"... my shop is beside the house! lol

Our hydraulics are $10,665 + attach fittings. Fixed penetrations, that I
built previously, I sold for about 1/2 that but don't have time in the
schedule to build a set for this coming season.
