Looks to me more like something you'll wave around to discourage people from overtaking you!

 

That's going to look good on the car, another bit of bling, every bit helps.

Had a chance to progress the handbrake today.   A rod from the handbrake lever runs back along the outside of the bodywork (just because I like the look).  It then operates a lever which then pulls a Bowden cable that will operate the brake pedal (Graham Appleyard style).

Looking great Stef.
And I recon I could operate that as you go to overtake me...makes it even better!!!

It does look good. When I'm not rushing between jobs to get to our events with a cyclekart this time, I will do a similar thing. I like the idea of the cable pulling the brake pedal.
The full Bond defence mechanism don't forget, includes a three foot wide by two foot high 1/4" thick solid steel, bullet proof screen!
Very important that.
Can you talk GA into one as well?

Hmmmmm was it always like that and you just hadn't noticed maybe?
Possibly heat generated when you removed some of the fins distorting the metal?

Yup end of my ideas?

Actually looking at it again, it could be the pull by the chain when you accelerate and brake.

It does look good I must say.
If my engine will do 10,000 rpm, can I just change the scale so max is 10,000?

Version 2 of my freewheel seems to be working OK so here's a drawing of the set-up.  To lock the wheel I just add a key into the Gemini Karts Hub and then tighten the hub onto the axle.   The oilite bush set into the end of the hub gives lateral bearing and also supports the wheel better.
