Installing the brand new tracks

Assembling the ski seater

NOS skis are installed, new reproduction seat is installed, wiring is complete and the ski seater is ready to go.

I forgot to post this picture earlier so I am posting it now. What I wanted to show is this reproduction throttle handle that I got from Barrie. Looks awesome and works awesome.

Nice Job. What are you going to use for a Connector on the tail light wire?
The quick Disconnect between the Seater to Track unit.
Got any leads for the original type connector? I could not find anything like the original.

Hi Corey
To the best of my knowledge the original connection between the ski seater and the tractor was just a simple quick disconnect type connecter with a rubberized plastic protective cover. The protective covering is a rubberized plastic that stays soft and pliable this I believe was what was originally used it is NOT shrink tube.
The quick connecter that I use is a brass non-insulated type that crimps both the bare wire and the insulation which I believe is similar to the original.
The part number for a Hus-ski 200 is H-965. This number also crosses over to a 444 and a 600 part number and I believe it was the same part used on the Diablo Rouge??
Maybe somebody on the forum following this thread can elaborate a bit more about this topic.
Hopefully this helps.

This is taken out of Hus-ski manuals showing the part number and the interchange part numbers.

Just to refresh, this is what this Hus-ski looked like when I first bought it.

it was in pretty rough condition but a perfect candidate for a restoration.
