We focus on function, so our rods do not look just like theirs.

Brand ID letter – In 1976 we put all the brands in alphabetical order and assigned a letter to them.  Then we added two digits so we could keep track by sequence.  ie- The latest A.C. rod is B13.

4” Carbide – 6” Carbide – 8” Carbide

 Triple Point Carbides – 4” version TP4- / 6” version TP6- / 8” version TP8-

Arctic Cat short-cut wear rod application

Brand - ID letter ( B ) & ski number.  ie – B11-B

1997-2002, plastic ski = B11-B (except 2002 ZR)

2002 ZR / 2003 to present, plastic ski = B13 – Drill a 4^th hole for the 07 Jaguar ski

Blow Molded plastic ski = B12

2010 – Plastic ski = B14

We can add any new rod as soon as we can get a ski to use as a master.

For maximum function, if your skis only have 3 bolt holes you need to drill a 4th hole. If you have another A.C. sled with plastic skis order the same bolt pattern, B11-B or B13

To drill out the skis for single runners you can use a 9/16” spade bit.  Drill from the inside of the pocket.  Turn the ski over and drill a center hole.  Then take a Dremmal Tool or a Rat Tail file to open up the whole pocket.  Make the holes wide enough so the host bar slides in easily.   Use a 7/16” drill bit for the bolt holes because the holes will be undersized.  You can clean up the hole by heating the front of the rod to a dull red.  It would also taper the back of the hole.  If you get it hotter it could flame up but all you have to do is blow it out.

Front Hole modification to accept a center keel rod -
Elongate the front hole to 1 3/8" or until the rod does not need to be forced down, for the front bolt to fully seat. Because of the ski rocker the back bolts may need to be pushed into the ski. Before / After

Widen the hole wide enough so a 1/2" rod can move freely from end to end.

Drill the bolt holes out to 3/8"
