On the 92 Mach 1, that is. I brought it up to the shop tonight. Installing a new primary spring to get the engagement RPM's up. Also picked a SC-10/2 out of a 99 Mach Z I'm going to fab into the Mach 1. Should bring the back end up 5 inches or so. Looks like it's going to be a fun project!

Can't wait to see the pics! Might looked like you installed a lift kit.

**smallengineguy** · 10-30-2006, 06:43 AM

Take some before/after's of your knuckles........ain't no fun unless you leave some skin somewhere!

You bet! I've had the skid out of the 92 multiple times, should have it out in about 20 mins by now!

**smallengineguy** · 11-03-2006, 07:26 PM

I got the SC10 all installed today, the sled looks AWESOME now! Brought the back end up over 8 inches. Twice the travel of the old PRS system. I'll take some pics of it and post them.

SSnthe10s · 11-04-2006, 06:03 PM

Sounds sweet SEG. Get r done.

Formula_Canuk · 11-04-2006, 06:25 PM

Seg I'd be real interested in some pics. If I don't buy a newer sled I'm gonna convert my m7 setup to an sc 10. Hoping all I have to do is find the different style brackets for the tunnel mount, what was involved for you?

locky · 11-04-2006, 07:00 PM

Come on SEG get the pics up.

**smallengineguy** · 11-04-2006, 08:42 PM

I'll post them after I get the rear wheels in that I ordered. I had to move the rearmost mounting brackets up toward the front approx 4 inches and drill new front holes. I had to rebend the front L brackets from the old suspension and put them on the new,and swing them back so the front of the skid had enough clearance. That's about it!

**smallengineguy** · 11-30-2006, 09:26 AM

Before and after pics....BIG difference in rear travel..Went from 6" to 10". First pic is the only before I have.

01MXZ800 · 11-30-2006, 10:48 AM

that looks SWEEEEET!! any chance of posting a pic of where you drilled the front mount hole and did you move the rear mount bracket thanks

tamacat · 11-30-2006, 10:53 AM

Ya did a nice job SEG!!!

SSnthe10s · 11-30-2006, 04:13 PM

Top notch fabbing right there.

mmrosshere · 11-30-2006, 04:34 PM

looks like something I would like to do on my sled but I don't know if it would be worth it. Eaven then not till I know it is going to be a solid running sled.

headbanger7483 · 11-30-2006, 05:22 PM

wow looks great man!

**smallengineguy** · 11-30-2006, 06:54 PM

Brought the back up around 8" or so and the travel is amazing! Ihad to drill out the rivets from the rear tunnel brackets and move them forward approx 3" (enough to align the front rivet holes in the tunnel with the rear rivet holes in the bracket). I re drilled new rivet holes in the bracket and riveted it all back together. I had to remove the L brackets off the front of the PRS unit, rebend them so the vertical segment was 1 inch shorter, then mount them in the tunnel approx 4" farther back. I also had to fabricate a cross shaft from the old PRS setup to mount as the top shaft of the SC10, but it works great now! I used 2 of the regular idler wheels and mounted the shaft in the existing holes in the mid point of the sled tunnel. It took about a day to do correctly.

**smallengineguy** · 11-30-2006, 06:54 PM

Oh yeah, thanks for all the nice feedback!!
