Anyone make a custom snow flap?

[Markster]

Hi i have old arctic sled panther the sled runs sweet.
But is well to look at it what you would call it a Ratsled
i like the sled because it never let me down yet..
It does need a snow flap its missing, what im trying to figure out is.
What would be material to use for a home made snowmobile snow flap?
I looked around to find the original but the prices are crazy,,
So im going to try and make one i guess.

Anyone here ever make one and if so whats a good material to use?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

did you check out dennis kirk for a sled flap?

I seen a few on there reasonable price too!
but they are a after market stuff though..

But if you want to get down and ratsled dirty
i would saY something like a tire cut inhalf and opened up..
Or maybe a semi truck flap??..
something like that heavy rubber stuff!
