That is a UMI. Its a 1 piece design. Blowsion has bracket. My favorite is an R&D. But you have to find one with a hood mount or fab up a custom hood mount since your FX1 has the mount on the bracket.
Would you have any link for this type of bracket? My research only shows the the Blowsion standard 2 holes bracket
And link as well for DIY custom hood mount?
Thanks

You can link to the adapter and also the bracket.

I'm guessing I did not explain myself correctly or did not pointed out what I was looking for/at.
I'm interested into the aluminum parts below the bracket that is filling up the gap on the side of the FX1 hull when the "iconic nose/pole/bracket cover" is removed.
I thought it was part of the pole bracket, my bad

I've never seen or heard of an aftermarket company producing one. I'd be willing to bet the owner of the ski in the pic might have fabricated it himself.

Talking about a plate that goes inside the hull where you bolt tue bracket down?

No the aluminum plate/shape you can see on the picture that is under the UMI backet. This plate is filling up the open space left by the FX1 iconic backet/pole cover.
I think smoofers might be right, on the fact that it may have been made by the ski owner. Man that would be a big aluminum block to mill that shape out of it

did not even notice that. That is going to be a custom part that they guy would have had made. Never seen those for sale anywhere.
If you're a little crafty, you could make it out of fiberglass. Would be easier and cheaper than having it fabbed up unless you've got some hookups!Ok
Thanks for the replies.
I like it, so I'll have to figure out something for it or similar

. Different, yet simple to make. Thanks for the idea .Did you shorten your pole? If yes, how much did you remove? From the top or bottom?

Stock pole, I also made a billet bracket in that photo and moved the pivot forward 2 inches(ish).

It was unbreakable, easier to get weight forward, and waaay cooler!
I like "waaay cooler" and " unbreakable"
So you only moved the pivot point forward, correct?
What about the mounting holes and path through cable hole in the tray?
The hole for the spring in the bracket? Or did you use a different spring type?
