Custom Reinforcements

For Your Pro-Action Chassis

This is quite simple to manufacture by yourself if you are patient and thorough.

1. Remove the two rear skid assembly points and raise the rear of the machine.

2. Make a dummy out of stiff but thin paper with the design you want. My suggestion is to incorporate the two assembly points for the skid and extend it as far forward as possible. Also make it go up under the seat so the rivets there can hold it in place.

3. Drill out the rivets covered by the dummy.

4. Tape the dummy in the correct position on the tunnel

5. Carefully mark the two holes for the assembly points and all rivet holes without moving the dummy.

6. Put the paper dummy onto a 1.5mm thick stainless steel plate and mark the outer lines and where the reinforcement is to be bent.

7. Cut the reinforce out.

8. If you want grip knobs you have to make a press tool for them. How it is done ? Ill get back on that later.

9. Punch the knobs now in an hydraulic press.

10. Bend the reinforcement to the correct angle. Use paper dummies to get the correct bending angle. (Cut the paper so it fits the angle on the tunnel)

11. Carefully, really carefully, mark the two assy. holes on the reinforce plate. drill them with a 10.5 - 11.0mm drill.

12. Mark and drill the remaining rivet holes with a 5.0 -5.2 mm drill
using the two already drilled assy. holes as guide for the paper dummy.

13. Fit the reinforcement to the machine an make adjustments for proper fit.

14. Paint, polish or glass blast it. If you glass blast it, make sure you do it on both sides, otherwise the plate will get uneven.

15. Re rivet the unit using Yamaha original rivets, also put the front assy. plain steel backup plate back on the inside of the tunnel (this piece is held by two rivets around the front assembly bolt.
Yamaha original rivets are extremely expensive but use them anyway, they have superior quality.

Good luck !
