  • Air dam for snowmobiles
    Patent number: 5427430
    Abstract: An air dam (100) for a snowmobile (10) diverts air away from a cavity beneath the front end (12) of the snowmobile (10). The air dam (100) extends forward and downward, and, thus, diverted air imparts a downwardly directed force on the air dam (100), thereby helping to maintain the skis (20a, 20b) of the snowmobile (10) in contact with the ground. A template (160) is used to form rivet holes (119) in the sidewalls (114, 118) of the air dam (100) as well as in the belly pan (18) of the snowmobile (10) to which the air dam (100) is attached.
