Freestyle SXR Trim

I'm wondering about putting trim on my stock sxr pump. What brand is the best for this? I know its not that effective on a stock hull but I plan on purchasing an aftermarket within the next year.
My ski has the following mods:
-bored nozzzle
-flame arrestors
-factory wet pipe
-lightweight flywheel
-advent ignition
-kommander dual cooling
-trued and welded crank
-flow control valve
-possibly a head this winter?

I built my own using a older X2 trim/Nozzle combo. All that you need to do is make bracket to mount to the pump.

Do you have any build threads on how to do that in detail?

I never did a build thread on mine. I used an old X2 Nozzle/trim setup. Ordered a cable from Skat Track. I believe the handle came from Xmetal. Removed the stock syphon bildge and used that through hull fitting for my second water line incoming to the motor. I then used the stock overboard fitting in the pump area for the trim cable. I made a SST bracket that mounted with the two bolts that secure the reduction nozzle to the pump. This is a picture or the pump area that I found. Oh, you will have to extend you steering cable to the nozzle since it stick back some more.

Thanks for the info! What do you extend the steering nozzle with? Can you explain the bracket in better detail?

For the steering cable extension, I took a stainless or aluminum piece of rod and drilled and tapped both ends. It then treads on to the end of the stearing cable. I then used a piece of threaded rod to screw into the other end of the extension and then the ball connector. The bracket is used to mount the trim cable in the pump area. I can take picture when I get home. I currently removed the trim nozzle but I believe the bracket is still in there. you can see the bracket between the bolt and the reduction nozzle in the picture I posted before

Pictures would be great. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, forgot to take pics. This is the quick bracket that I made. Not fancy by any means but it worked great
