Looking to re-drill my 2012 proclimb front skid position to match the 14' skid location. I already have the 13' front hole drilled and am installing the 2014 rear brackets. Can anyone give me the correct re-drill specs for the 14' location?


Thanks

My understanding is the 2014 hole the same distance back from the 2013 hole - as the original 2 holes on the top of the 2012. This is how I added the 2014 drill hole on the PDF.

I used Photoshop and modified the template to include the 2014 drilling hole. (Make sure your printing setting are not set to "fit to page" or else it will re size it)
Download here:

Here is the link to the original 2013 drilling template:

Hi Guys,

I'm wonder if there is an working source to get the template from? I have just bought me an 2012 and thinking of doing this mod.

I had a 12 162” and I drilled in the 13 location. Let my limmiters out and drilled a new lower shock mounting hole for the center shock. Worth a try IMO

When I was going to move my 13 skid to 14 location it wouldn't fit. They shortened the rails in 14. I had the holes drilled started to put skid in and then found out the rails are shorter on the 14s

I haven't seen a post yet where it's been an issue. I think plenty of people have done this and been able to get their tracks adjusted. Especially on a used sled where the track has already stretched some.

The 13 rails will not fit inside the track in the 14 location even with the tensioner all the way loose. Arctic cat shortened the rails in 14 to accommodate the new mounting locations. The 12 and 13 skid in the Rasmussen location worked very well I will say no complaints

The Rasmussen hole flattens out the attack angle of the track and is suppose to help get sled on top of the snow better. I think alot of guys did run an anti stab on the 13s. The one thing to think about to is that 13 was the only year that the skid was mounted in that position.

Le trou de Rasmussen aplatit l'angle d'attaque de la piste et est censé aider à mieux faire de la motoneige sur la neige. Je pense que beaucoup de gars ont fait un anti-coup sur les 13. La seule chose à

laquelle il faut penser est que 13 a été la seule année où le patin a été monté dans cette position.

I Will try Rasmussen hole this week but if I try 2014, I need anti stab even If I put my limiter strap to tighten position ? Because many people put in 2014 holes with 2012 rail and is ok but I am not sure 100% , thanks you very much for help me !! I leave in Québec and not a lot people try this mod ..

The 2013s didn't have an anti stab kit but they have bigger rail caps.

Yes I Buy 2016 caps and I Will install this, but if I try with 2014 setup I need anti stab and 2014 rail ? I am very confused , Many people talk about 2012 rail with 2014 Hole is to long and the track ajustement is to tight ... If is true I try 2013 Hole or Rasmussen mod ( rear of 20mm from 2012 ) is better ?
