Abstract: A support bracket for a tunnel of a snow vehicle includes a body, a first member, and a first flange. The body includes an inboard side and an outboard side. The outboard side of the body is positionable along an inboard surface of a side panel of the tunnel. A first member extends forward from the body, the first member positioned along the inboard surface of the side panel of the tunnel. The first flange extends outboard from the first member. The first flange extends outboard from the side panel to support an inboard portion of a running board. In some embodiments, the support bracket may include a second member and a second flange. The second member extends rearward from the body and is positioned along the inboard surface of the side panel adjacent to an underside of an upper panel of the tunnel. The second flange extends inboard from the second member and is positioned along the underside of the upper panel. The second flange may support one or more components on an exterior surface of the upper panel.

Abstract: An attachment system includes a connector that is removably securable to a vehicle body or a mounting bracket that is securable to a vehicle body. The connector includes a housing and a connecting pin extending from a surface of the housing. The connecting pin is receivable in the mounting bracket or the vehicle body in a first position, and the connecting pin is moveable to a second position such that a portion of the mounting bracket or vehicle body is located intermediate a portion of the connecting pin and the housing. The connector further includes a locking pin moveable from a locking position to a release position. The locking pin is engaged with the mounting bracket or the vehicle body in the locking position, thereby inhibiting movement of the connecting pin from the second position. The locking pin is disengaged from the mounting bracket or the vehicle body when in the release position, thereby allowing removal of the connecting pin from the vehicle body or the mounting bracket.
