Here's a tip from my freind Ron Thomsen (purveyor of vintage Ski Doo parts) You can use '71-'72 spindles in the older black stripe sleds and they will give you the advantage of ski stops so your skis don't flop so much when you run spreaders. :)
I owned a '72 Nordic 440 I bought new and there was a recall on the ski brackets. I found out about the recall when I went to fix the ski after it fell off while under warranty. I thought it was my fault when the bracket broke.
Google Goose (Ron Thomsen) he has them manufactured, the seals are pretty standard stuff from any bearing house, the shaft bearings (as well as bogie shaft bearings) are all a 6205 available from Amazon and others.

Well, 50 feet is better than 0 feet I guess! 😄
Where do you get your drive sprokets and seals from for those elans
Ebay or Dennis Kirk.
