2003 grand touring 500 137 track. I bought summitseekers scratchers for it, and I have searched this topic but cannot find a good spot still. I have read three diff options. 1. Remove rear idler. 2. Relocate idler/s to inside of track. 3. Put the ice scratcher right behind the rear idler inside the slot and then drill the hole for the bolt. So can someone provide me some help and some pictures on what actually works? I don't want to really spend anymore money on relocation kits either. Also I don't want to drill more holes than needed. I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

You probably don't need scratchers on that model.....those sleds run on 3 inches of ice all day....if your worried head to the auto store and buy a bottle of water wetter and add to coolant. Or this model a fan cooled I really don't know.

Liquid cooled. She likes to heat up a bit because my nephew driving drives a little slower. Plus I already bought them. So I have to make it work.

If the red light is not coming on I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, I would put them as close to the front of your skid as possible.
