I would like to float the secondary clutch on my sled . Does anyone have the dimensions for the aluminum spacer that can be purchased. I need the outside diameter and overall length. Also, when installing this.........do the spacers and that little dust cover or whatever it is need to be removed before putting in the aluminum spacer? I work in a machine shop and want to make this part. Any help would be appreciated. BTW....sled is an 04 rev 600HO.

Eddie738 sells them on here for 19.00 shipped. IMHO hardly worth messing around and trying to make your own. He has it down to a science and has the fastest shipping I have seen.

I understand you wanting to make your own but most guys on here get a little defensive about taking business away from fellow DooTalkers. They figure if a guy spent the time and energy to measure and test to come up with one of these, they should be able to make a little money from it. Maybe somebody will give you the info but I haven't seen it done too often.

Ditto that... it's only $20... heck to knock one out yourself on a lathe would take 1/2hr - 45min minimum from start to finish for a single piece... then you need a trip to the hardware store for a bolt...

... would cost me more than $20 worth of my time to monkey with it... PM Eddie.

It helps when you sink your sled, at least you can find your clutch! tongue.gif
JK! It helps to keep the clutches cooler, and maintain alignment. Which in turn will help with the belt dust.

Doing what's right, even when nobody is watching.

Sled list:
Mine-03 600 HO turned into a 05 700HO. Tunnel from "Snowpromod" to get rid of the beaver tail, get the long cooler, and more clearance with the chain case. Swapped the SC 10 111 to the SC 4, with the X package center, and C46 rear. The 700 is a work in progress, can't wait!
Hers-04 500ss trail. It's the sled that got us started on Doo.
Sons-05 500ss trail. Great next sled after a Cat Z 370. Should last him until he can buy his own!

I understand where you all are coming from. Im just on a tight budget . I will just do some measuring and make sometihing up. 15 minutes tops on the lathe. I know $20 bucks isn't much but i can make it for free

So do your own leg work and figure the dimensions out yourself. Don't ask for them from a product someone already did the testing for. Go ruin your own sled to figure it out and get it rite like the maker of it did. If you can't afford twenty bucks you might as well park your sled. headbang.gif

I plan on it!!! Why is me asking for this any different than asking for a clutch setup or even jetting for a carb etc. etc.? Someone else on here done their homework on these items and I see posts daily regaurding such. NO DIFFERENT!!!!! If thats the case.......what's the use of this site. Im on here to help people out and give my opinions and personal experiences to "maybe solve someone elses problem". And for your information I can afford $20 bucks. I would just rather spend it on things I can't make or do for myself. Besides making a spacer to allow the clutch to move a little is not rocket science.
It's just a spacer.

He's not asking for the measurements so he can mass produce his own and sell them, just for his personal sled.

I'm sure its not just saving some money, but the satisfaction of making one yourself.

There are alot of specialty tools and parts I could buy and save hassle, but I like the feeling of satisfaction when I make something that works

Also, celina, what youll probably have to do is just like a guess and check with the spacers. You're going to want about 1/4" of side to side play, (approx.)

So, add and remove spacers to make sure you've got something close to that.
