For $ 70.00......I'll stick to using silicone.

 

[NorthMNSledder]

Interesting Idea.......Very similar to the ones I was going to 3D print for mine.

 

[mountainhorse]

For the price... and the cost of my time... I have no problem ordering them... plus, my dealer gives me a good price from WPS on SPG stuff.

I just called WPS... part number 241-03320 ... ETA October 15.

I'm ordering 4 sets for me ...and my buddies sleds...

Sheesh!!! no kidding!

 

[likkerpig]

Low cost solution...... 70.00 for that?? Yeah, NO.

Low cost solution...... 70.00 for that?? Yeah, NO.

I agree $70 is steep for what it is, but this is skinz were talking about here. They want $1500 for running boards and $2500 for a front end. $70 for a part barely seems worth their time.

My bet is there is less than $7.00 in time and materials for the pair of ski plugs (I know I could make about 10 pair an hour with just a table saw and a router table).
Likely about $150.00 in time and materials for the RB's and about $250.00 in time and materials for their Front end.

So in my opinion their profit margin is consistent and the end user / consumer is getting screwed.

Also where the spindle puts the most pressure on the rubber snubber Front and rear, they left it unplugged. So it will just extrude their expensive pad right into the hole they left unfilled. Idiots / Morons? Your pick.

And what! No Ugly "Skin's" logo on it, What were they thinking?
They must have got a new marketing guy that has a clue.

Hahaha...

$70 .......... WTF. Haha, my time and money, blah blah blah. Is this price a joke or really what they are asking?

 

[rulonjj]

$70? I could see $20 or $30. Ski Doo rubbers are $30 a set. I'll just keep using those.

 

[Dartos]

Doo rubbers, most cost effective mod I made in the last 5 years!!!!!

Do you have the Doo part # by chance??

Thanks.

 

[Dartos]

No part number. Just dropped into my local Doo dealer and told them I wanted 2 ski rubbers from a Rev era Summit.

But I just looked it up. I found it to be 505071779.

If you have not read the thread on install, it does take a small amount of compression of the Doo rubber to get the bolt through.
