IQ seat and tank??

Hi, there was a guy on Snowmobile Fanatics who did the same thing to a 93 or 94 XLT. The tank does not fit into the hoop, but he fit the tank up against the hoop and bolted the tank down. The IQ/Fusion tanks have tabs where you can bolt the tank down. He had a Fusion seat mounted on it. The seat also held the tank in place.
I'm doing a similar mod to my 98 XC700. I've got a Fusion tank and Fusion RMK seat. I've got the shovel rack plastic and taillight from the RMK also. My 98 has the coolant hose going across the rear of the tunnel, so the RMK seat fits well. I am going to attempt to modify the hoop or build a new one so the tank will fit inside. With the Fusion tanks, you need to block off the fuel pump hole with a plate and drill and tap a hole for the pickup hose. Or you can find a tank from a 600 Shift or similar non-fuel injected sled. I haven't started the mod yet, but did a mockup in the spring. Here's pics of my sled, plus I found the ones I saved from the guy on Snowmobile Fanatics of his XLTs.

Drill through the front tabs and bolt the front of the tank to the tunnel. I believe that the XLTs in my photos above just have 4 bolts holding them down and the tanks are butted up against the steering hoop. That would be the easiest way. I haven't started on mine yet.
I circled the front tab on the attached picture.

the velcro idea is pretty nice...wouldnt hurt to do that to the iq chassis as well...there is nothing upfront that hold the tank "IN"...just holds it down, and then the 2 bolts you talked about...
great work..
great work..
There are some IQ seats for sale at SLP. I just got the flyer yesterday. I think they are take-offs.

I've used this product before and it's 100 times better than velcro. It's a 3M product called Dual Lock.

The seat looks great! Definitely keep posting pics as you progress to the finished product of the completed sled.
