Default any black skid pipes that work on gaui skids ??

just curious, thinking of getting some of those carbon fiber skids and want black pipes

not sure if the align 550 skids or X7 skids fit, if they are to long i could always cut them shorter. just not sure if the diameter is going to work or not..

Ask in the Trex 550,600,700 forum and see who can measure the diameter, they are all the same diameter just different length.


Make sure you sharpie out "Align 550"

550 and X7 skid pipes are all 9mm X5 skid pipes are about 7mm and align 500 skid pipes were i think 6.5mm

so none of those are going to do the job unless i find a way to modify the align 500 skids

You could put some heat shrink over the 500 skids to fill the gap and then trim it off.

Align 500 skids fit ok with ca. 1,5 rounds of electric tape around them.
