Well back at it! It's been a very busy summer. Tore the old sled down. I will be saving the ski spindles and steering arms but the rest of the front end is junk. If you purchase the aluminum ice racing skis you will have to cut or grind the spindles down to fit, it beats spending over $100.00 each for new ones.

 I took a picture of the slide suspension. The Wahl kit to lower the suspension uses this style, my other sled (the one I'm using off my other 89 is much lighter and looks different, not sure why? ) If you use the suspension I have the welds will be placed at different spots.

Here are some pictures of the suspension I will be using the Wahl kit has been installed and the lubers plumbed.

 I used brake line tubing cut and held in place by metal wire clips you can purchase all these items from Napa or any automotive parts supplier, I used stainless steel bolts and lock nuts to secure them, I will be using a fuel pump that will be powered by a second pulse line which I added to the engine case to power the lube system.

 

I thought I would try to media blast the engine, I covered all the openings with duct tape and plastic plugs and caps. Hope it works....lol

 I purchased a pressure media blaster I thought I would give Soda Blasting a try. I purchased a large bag of Sodium Bicarb and blasted the engine it didn't produce the look I was hoping for not sure if I was doing something wrong. U Tube show many guys blasting with Soda with great results.

 I no I have the power, here is a picture of my Brunner 2 stage 3.5hp , 80 gallon tank max 175 psi so pressures not the issue. Any idea's....

This is the engine after blasting a little cleaner but not what I was hoping for. I guess its glass bead next.
