Made my own gauge lifter

[RUDY]

Well was debating on a gauge lifter so decided to try to make one up..Worked out pretty decent,just gonna powder coat and mount on the sled...

Looks alright, It should work nicely. I question your pivot point where its bolted. Will it stay tight?

i just put the bolt in there to see how well everything matches up,i wanna weld a nut or use a pem inside of the hole.Then i would like to use a thumb knob so i can adjust it without using any tools.When i tightened the bolt it was really tight and didn't move until i backed it off a bit..
I am trying to do a totally different style with a pivoting ball joint but dunno where to find them and would they stay positioned when turn or will they just vibrate back down.

Got access to a CNC plasma cutter by any chance? Nice work! Gotta get one for my RMK too.

No way am I trying to take business away from the company's that make the "GAUGE LIFTER"...all I'm saying is I tried to make my own,not advertising that I made a 100 and are for sale...I know wildchild makes a gauge lifter for Canada Sled Parts and WRP,Sled Solutions sells another guys lifter..Both are great products.

Don't worry about the words your are describing what you made it is not a brand name. Good job looks great. You kind of want it to be able to move a little so when you roll your sled in harder snow it doesn't bend. Make sure you use a lock washer or locknut or it will come loose.

That's why I wanna install a pem or maybe riv-nut and then use the a thumb knob so if I have to roll the sled I can move the gauge without worrying about breaking it...And if it does bend not a big deal I can always get another...lol

It looks frickin' awesome and fits really tight too....... He brought it by our shop, and it is a work of art .. Well done, rudy

I don't have a problem with what it is called, but one of the companies south of the border does, which is why we are calling ours "guage stands". Was just passing on some information. thx wayne

Shoot me a PM and we can go from there...FYI I can get stuff done alot faster on the laser,but if it has to be done on the water jet it can be done.
