I figured I'd post how I did it.

| The SC-10/2 brought the back up around 8" or so and the travel is amazing compared to the old PRS rat... I had to drill out the rivets from the rear tunnel brackets and move them forward approx 3" (enough to align the front rivet holes in the tunnel with the rear rivet holes in the bracket). I re drilled new rivet holes in the bracket and riveted it all back together. I had to remove the L brackets off the front of the PRS unit, rebend them so the vertical segment was 1 inch shorter, then mount them in the tunnel approx 4" farther back. I also had to fabricate a cross shaft from the old PRS setup to mount as the top shaft of the SC10, but it works great now! I used 2 of the regular idler wheels and mounted the shaft in the existing holes in the mid point of the sled tunnel. It took about a day to do correctly. The difference in the suspension is worth the work! |

Moving the front shaft back 4" or so. Old hole is toward the front, new location is the bolt head. |

I like it... alot!
Wish my 1990 mach1 was still around.
It could have used an upgrade like this!
Great stuff, thanks for showing how you did it.
Have you put many miles on it?

Looks great and must change the machine from a backbreaker to a Caddy. Nice work. Will keep in mind should I ever get one.
