Something different.

I have started building a cyclekart that should look a bit like this.
If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.

What ho!  Squadron Leader James Tanner has a certain ring to it.

Looking forward to hearing more.

If that thing doesn't come with 8 x 303 Machine guns fitted I'm going to be disappointed!

Trying out a 4 link style front suspension.

Interesting!
We must avoid torturing our brains with false problems, it occupies but it can annoy. In jest!

It's getting closer to being a rolling chassis. I have used car seat runners to mount the pedals on and they have quite a bit of travel. A lever going to the seat should make it easy to adjust.

I like that idea. I may well incorporate it into mine so that my wife can drive too.
I'm not quite as green as I'm cabbage sounding.

I picked up a steering wheel for 30 quid off ebay that I think will look good. It's from a Nissan Figaro.

Figaro! Good idea - very nice
I don't want to bore you all with the details, here. But if you are interested, have a look at my blog https://peteskart.blogspot.com/

A mock up body in c.a.d. Hopefully this should make it easier when it comes to making the panels in ali.
