1981 Trailfire skis

Post by 1977Polaris »

My father has a 1981 Trailfire 340 he is restoring and it has two different skis on it.
Can anyone tell me which of the two skis in the picture (if any) is the correct ski for the sled?
I believe it is the one with a squared rear end on the bottom of the pictures. The one on top I believe is a Dennis Kirk replacement.
Please let me know.

Kenny
Kenny, mouse over the pic and click on it, it expands, and you can see the loops.

polaris,
The loops look rounded which confirms they are Trailfire. If they were more of a square, then they would be earlier mid-mount sleds.

With this question answered... My father has asked me to find him a correct ski. I believe the part number is AM 54912.
We would consider purchasing one if the price is reasonable. Please let me know if you have one.
I will post this in the classified section also. Thank you.
