proper length of orginal track slides

Post by harleysportster »

Can anyone tell me the correct length that the track slides on a '76 cyclone /liquifire should be. Each of my sleds have different length sliders.
Thanks,
Pat

The sliders on my cyclone measured out at 46 inches and they look to short because they end about 1/4 in from the end of the rail.

I,ll go out on the limb here but if your slides are 46" and they are 1/4 inch to short .HMMMMM My guess would be 46 1/4 "is the proper lenght.. I hope i did this right but i better contact my old math teacher just to be sure..

What answer were you really expecting Pat? LOL

What is the length in inches and do the slides go past the rear end of the rails or are they supposed to be flush with the end. Keep in mind that the end of the rail is cut on a angle .
