Aftermarket Lifted sled/ motor cradle
While on a evening romp thru the neighborhood the sled snapped in two just behind engine. I posted this before but i dont see thread in my stuff so posting again. Im guessing the aftermarket sled/cradles cant handle the weight of 670 predator motors.

Re: Aftermarket Lifted sled/ motor cradle
Actually, From the looks of the second picture, Your problem is more with rust than torque.........

Re: Aftermarket Lifted sled/ motor cradle
yea, sorry, that doesn't look anywhere close to being two months old....
Newer cheaper/thinner tubing maybe but even Chinese junk doesn't rust in 2 months. |

Re: Aftermarket Lifted sled/ motor cradle
Sometimes these kind of parts rust from the inside out. Seems they don't coat the inside of the pipes. I use Fluid Film on my vehicles, great product, been using it for years on my equipment like snowplows too. You can get a long reach flexible wand with a 360 degree nozzle to get up in those long tubes.

Re: Aftermarket Lifted sled/ motor cradle
Fluid film, I'll look into it. Was thinking maybe filling pipe with concrete or maybe spray foam and adding some rubber mounts under motor
