OFT Racing Plug and Play Tether

[longlugs]

A little upgrade I did to my OFT/Pro Armor Tether. The stock body clip is hardly glove friendly. I found a small carabiner attached to a split ring. It's still light and should be easier to get on and off. Link to product:

Received mine last week. Installed today don't know what happened but the install directions were off a bit on the tools which said the hex head screws for the mounting block are 9/64 hex head. They were not 9/64. Best I could figure is that they are 3.5mm. Anyone else run into this? Other than that easy install. The only reason I brought it up is I don't have a 3.5mm hex. Improvised with 1/8 hex

I'm not sure on the 08 IQ. But the 2012 wiring diagram shows. 2 black wires and 2 blue/black wires to the tether connector. Hope this helps.

Usually they are fairly close the the key switch, if you follow the wires from that you should come across it. Small square, usually black, connector with the two black and two brown wires to it. Plug your tether in and your done.

Sorry I'm not more help, I missed the IQ generation due to an ugly divorce.

Take off the hood and look for the black nylon and Velcro pouch right at the steering column. It's a black two pin connector located within the pouch.

If you can't locate it, I'll post some pictures.

Does anyone know what size fasteners the Proarmor tether comes with?

Want to mount mine to my riser block but need longer cap screws

Pro Armor does not offer a replacement tether, it's something we've battled for years. I have a good solution for replacements that should be ordered today and I will update here as well as the site as soon as I have them on there way. I have looked into doing billet ones but have had good success with the stock ones that a $15 replacement is a better value.

TTT.

Did these ever become available?

A must-have for the backcountry!

I just ordered a tether for my '14 Pro RMK. I have had tethers on other sleds, and they have saved my bacon once or twice. I have had to chase down a buddies sled with a stuck throttle, and later watched another's sled go flying by. I was stuck and couldn't help him, but the trees stepped in and did! So, buy a tether, use it, it may save your sled!

On these Pro Armour tethers make sure you don't put a zip tie too close to the switch body. The wire needs some slack otherwise the switch will not close when the clip is pulled and your engine will keep running. This is more of a problem in very cold weather when the wire is really stiff.

Here is the reply that I got from Rick at OFT Racing:

The replacement clips are actually from pro design as we cannot get them from Pro Armor direct. But the pro design works as a direct replacement.

Thank you,

I can back that up because the clip off my junk pro design works on my pro armor.

 

[Dirty Steve]

Just placed an order with OFT.

Truth. Mine never works, cold or warm days. I've got plenty of slack in the wire to allow plunger to move, but it's just to stiff. Tried exercising it a couple different times, but still just doesn't work like it should. Maybe I got a lemon, but I can not recommend this tether.

Installed one on my 14 Pro at the beginning of the season. Haven't had any problem with it in varying conditions.
