    18hp twin - rigid frame (for now) - two seater

    Pedal Mount Suggestion When I looked at the front hoop for a roll bar I wondered if you mounted your pedals from that. http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/340-3950/10002/-1?parentProductId=744524 You could cut or disasemble the bracket. I had these on an old race race car...It was my first go...
