New project SW

[Lund]

The finished spindle ready to install.
I tried to load a video of the clearances after the modification but I couldn’t, I’m too stupid. Anyhow once I get this mounted I’ll post pictures of all the clearances.

Wow awesome. Great job!!!

Pretty pricey to set the belt gap.

Yeah not cheap but what is now a days…main purpose of it is not to set the gap …it’s to give the towers more rigidity and larger bushing to keep things aligned. See I guess. I figured if any clutch gets tortured the most would be the sidewinder due to the torque.

Posted it for you.

I did ask iceage about this blast they built. It has the exact same front end with older zbroz lowers they had laying around. He didn’t know much about as he wasn’t involved in the build.

Thanks Shawn, sorry for the poor filming but I think you guy get the idea. I had one hand handling the phone while the other trying to pull up the shock LOL.
Anyhow, not to highjack your thread I wanted to show that the spindle may be modified to work with the Zbroz arms.
Interesting that Iceage put together a Blast using this combo, wondering if they ended up modifying or was this just a publicity stunt/photo shoot and it never hit the snow.

This thread is for anything related to sidewinder mods. Have at it posting.

It sounded like they did have to modify but he wasn’t quite sure as he wasn’t involved.

I'm making those aware if you decided on using Zbroz like I did, make sure you check that once you torque the A-arms to the chassis that the arm moves up and down and that the bolt and bearing do not turn or move with the arm.
I found that both arms front mounts are not fitted properly and once torqued the bearing and bolt turn with the arm, this will eventually break the bolt or damage the mounts.
I found the arm bushing not pressed far enough, both sides and Zbroz did not account for bearing length.
The fix was to push the bushing in a little and file the ends till the bearing stuck out by a mm.
So now when you torque the bolt it locks on the bearing so the arm and bushing move and not the bolt and bearing..
BTW, Zbroz U SUCK.

slowly putting together the skid. Waiting for a few parts. I blasted and powder coated all the arms. Arctic cats paint is terrible for rusting.

Finally got a little free time today and got the Zbroz mounted to the modified spindles.
So ya guys its not too hard to do, it can be made to fit.

Looks awesome!!!

I got my primary back together and installed. Looks shiny. Lol

 

[Got Juice?]

Looks deadly mate! Well done! I have a feeling i will miss my Winder this season.....

 

[Lund]

It looks new, thats very impressive.

 

[Turblue]

Well committed to going to a belt drive.

 

[Turblue]

Anyone updated their roll over valve to the heated version?

 

[zal]

I put a Fourstrokes rollover valve with magnetic kill switch on mine. I have used them on many sleds with no issues.
I have found that the stock Yammy rollover valve still puked oil when on its side. Yes, I cleaned it often.

Who‘s kit uses a heated valve? Does the heat keep the condensation from happenin?

 

[Turblue]

This looks like it would work in the event of a frozen rov when starting sled. Goes from oil tank to valve cover.

 

[Turblue]

got the secondary all back together….installed hi torque rollers and Dalton helix.

Belt drive shipping Nov ish.

Also have a BDX brake rotor and drive shaft coming. My current driveshaft it rusted and pitted really bad where the seal goes on the brake side. Figured I’d save a few lbs with the BDX stuff. Thx dragoneweld28 for the goods.

 

[zal]

Looks very pretty!

 

[Turblue]

Getting deep now. Figured since the jack shaft needs to come out might was well powder coat the inner case half black. Definitely some trickery to get that out.

Bearing on the jack shaft secondary side was toast. Hmmm only 800 miles on the sled.
