could someone post pretty much every dimension for a sj handle pole bracket. looking for overall (envelope) dimensions and the dimension between the two vertical plates where the handle pole would bolt up to.
Custom/Hybrid js 701 w/144 pump

RN or SN? I'm sure your looking for RN dimensions, but if you need it for a SN let me know. I have my old one I can measure out for ya.

I think it's going to be a RN. Is the sq a metal bracket or plastic

SN bracket is cast aluminum.

I have what I'd call a 90% accurate CAD model of the OEM RN SJ handle pole bracket I drafted up when I was planning on selling our SRC Fab poles. I can put dimensions to it and send it to you as a PDF if you shoot me your email via PM.
I also have a pole model I could probably send to you if you feel like fabbing one yourself out of 1/4" sheet aluminum and 2.5" OD alu tubing. I abandoned the OEM bracket and mount almost like you did in your build in favor of a new mount location and more traditional bracket so I could do dual breather tubes.
I would reccomend just welding your own bracket out of 1/4" alu plate or 1/8" SS plate though and save some weight in the process! the OEM pole brackets for the SJ are fairly bulky. Well thats the route I'm going at least

That would be great! I have all the programs so you could just send a dwg if want. I'm an architecture student at the moment so I got everything on my computer. I don't have welding stuff (wish I did) but I've been using a local guy who does a pretty nice job. Maybe I'll have him do an exhaust tube as well. What are you going to use for breather tubes?

This tube my local big box store sells. It's basically like vacuum cleaner tubing lol. I'm gonna just run little 3" spools that will protrude above and slightly below the deck, with the above portion being the part the breather tubes will attach to. The way we have our SRC Fab pole designed it will accept breather tubes no problem even with a spring (I'm using a 750sx spring - with our pole design even and OEM 750sx spring is almost too strong since they are so light lol).
I can just send it as a .sldprt - native solidworks part, or a dumb 3D solid i.e. IGES/STEP if that's easier for you. I know solidworks is not the most popular for Architecture lol!

Yea. I may not even have solid works. Mostly use rhino, cad and revit.

Finally started getting some stuff done. had to stay up until 2am to do it but should be able to get a lot done tomorrow. Rigged up the pump on some threaded rods with 2x4's so that i could adjust the height and tilt of the pump. After i got it where i wanted it i layed two pieces of fiberglass. Tomorrow ill take out the pump and take off the wood to inspect the cavity's position and then ill finish glassing it in.
Started to strip the paint from my tdr waterbox. Im either going to try to polish it or ill sand it down a little more and then paint it.

Just a quick update. Im back at college now so i won't get a lot of work done until december. I have just about everything i need except b-pipe, the exhaust tube from waterbox to rear of ski, and a handle pole (probably going to get a stock rn pole and in the future make my own pole).
What I've done so far is i have everything in and lined up (engine, midshaft, pump). aluminum blocks for the engine are glassed in. I need to do a complete sand down and cleaning of the inside of the engine bay area and start laying down glass and tabs for the waterbox, battery and gas tank etc (assuming they fit). Also need to shape some tubbies onto the side and then a wide bond rail. I was going to make a completely new hood but i think i can get the stock one to work if i cut it up.

Small Update: Should have a handle pole coming in sometime this week. And will begin working on it again next monday. Hopefully i will get everything glassed by the end of next week. Im just going to hope that a b pipe fits in it without cuting out part of the hull, since i wont have a b pipe to test until may.

im considering just doing a side exhaust to free up space for a battery and ebox along the right side and also save money on the aluminum pole. I figure i can always put it in later if i want to change. Will the back pressure be an issue on a 701?

back at school again but i made a little progress over break despite it being short and sick. I glassed up one rail and one tubby and shaped the foam for the other side i will just have to glass that later (will be a 2 day project). Also lowered the hood 2 inches and trimmed it a bit to make it fit, will have to glass that a bit later. These picture are from before glassing but what is shown is now done.
I did most of the shaping of the tubbies on the work bench and then did some final stuff after it was glued to the hull. I just used gorilla glue to mount it to the hull. The hood and the nose don't have the best line, but i think i will just leave it as is and may make another hood in the future (hopefully distant future when i make a new hood for my 650sx).

Looks good and it is keeping you busy.......but you should have just bought a FX1 and do the 144mm pump mod or 650 Kaw pump mod? Just my 2cents

Yea, I already had this hull and it was registered and I was just looking for a fiberglass project to do before I graduate from college and get too busy. But I definitely would have preferred to start with something different

started to figure out the layout, and it's definitely going to be tight. the carb is pretty close to the hood lip so i may have to make a small cutout for it (but that may make sealing a bit of an issue). Does the orientation of the carb matter?
I may also have to go with a different waterbox, the tdr box comes right out into the gas tank. I knew this was going to be a problem (does anyone have a suggestion on waterbox to use). I was planning on doing a rear exhaust, but was thinking if i did a kawi 650sx style waterbox and a front exhaust then the battery could get moved to the front right part of the hull. it doesn't really work where it is pictured.
The ebox i plan on mounting a bracket across the hull on the hood lip (after i reinforce it heavily).

I tried reversing the carb on my build too. The pump side gives the most clearance. The FA just touches the hood only at idle when the motor is shaking more. With the idle turned up to 1100 or so there does not seem to be any contact. Sometimes when i let off and get back onto the throttle while riding I can feel the carb touching the hood when the motor torques on the motor mounts. I was wondering if a smaller diameter FA would eliminate the contact. I'm using a Blowsion Tornado. I'm not too worried about it since the only contact is the rubber lip on the FA.
I used a PJS 550SX Waterbox... plenty of room even with the stock gas tank although I'm using a Kart Tank now.
Also, is that a 650SX pipe? .. that's what I ended up using and it fits without any mods.

Yea it's a 650 pipe. I might modify it a bit. And I'm still debating between a 650 style waterbox with front exhaust or rear exhaust. With the 650 box I could probably fit the battery in the front right which would balance out the ski better. And I'm going to modify the hood so I have no rubbing with my pro k arrester.

What's going on with all your fuel lines? Single carb but running two filters? And separator?
