2 to 1 seater? What do I need to know?

[OzFab]

Just moving the gas to the far side(opposite the brake).

Is it possible to mount both pedals on the centre mount? A length of all thread & a few nuts should do it...

I plan on bending the back of the seat angled the same as the seats...(might be done by tomorrow night).

Be careful not to bend it too far or too fast but, I'm sure you're aware of that already

I plan on cutting a wedge shape starting from the 'back' of the seat/tube, identical and adjacent to each other(same place/shape, but different sides). Remove the wedge piece... grab top of seat back and pull back to desired angle... weld back into place. Thatll make a 'sharp' angle at the sides, but a gradual angle on the plate, that 'can' be formed into the similar 'shape' of the back side of the bench seat, w/ alil hammering and bracing(body work, or panel fabrication, simularities...lol) I 'may' be able to make it identical, then all Id have to do is mount a cushion at the upper back, area then an angled base/butt plate(probably w/ the same hole as on the bench seats... the postierior bone/cheeks are 'cradled' in the hole as one sits on it. The padding is more so to 'form' the shape of appearance of the seat(giving it depth), instead of cushioning.

Well.... THIS fusion is done! Still gotta grind/paint the welds, and fab a seat cushioning, but the over all (important stuff is finished).

Plz post your opinions of the stupidity of this endeavor... if you find the finished product NOT to your liking! Also... if you DO like, but have your .02cents to add (sid), I welcome those as well!
2-1 seater conversion/fusion...

works for me... try again?

I think you did a brilliant job there. It seems to have worked out great. Does it feel better being a one seated now?

You sure can pull off some nice donuts...

 

[OzFab]

Well, that seemed to turn out ok, good job

 

[danssoslow]

That looks clean! That Ackermann steering really helped the turning radius something crazy. I would have never thought it could turn such a small radius.

 

[Half-breeder]

Here is the 'end' product that got fused... I bent the seat back, I flipped the steering bar mount that goes between the legs. I cut the OSG's off the sides(cause the seat has some already mounted to em). And mounted the horn in a more 'desirable' location...

I will post the updated vid on my build page after its done uploading...Lo-T's build page...

It's like a totally different kart. MUCH more... Sideways friendly!
