go kart pedals

[IKE323]

hi has anyone got plans for a go kart pedals and what angle shot the pedals be sloped forward as i was thinking about an angle of 75-80 degrees

Angle them to where they are comfortable for you. I made a set from (IIRC) 5/16 round bar, bent to suit, with tabs for pivots and cables welded on.

This is 'just' an option that alotta ppl 'think' of... but never really remember... 'pedals' are just an extensional leverage unit that pulls/pushes 'another' unit to a certain, variable amount of either contraction or the other(e.i.- throttle, brakes, rudder on planes/some boats, etc...).
However, 'hand-grips', like on bicycles, 'can' be an option to 'pedals'. Also, by removing the NEED for ones feet to be positioned, stationary, for gas/brakes, one can maneuver ones footing to accommodate balance/shifting... just an idea till you get pre-fab ones.

Below are two options:

Pic 1 is two pieces welded together...
Pic 2 is a single piece with a bend...

This is from the Viper ST, and Viper STX plans. The plans are free at mxk.com. I am building a Viper STX right now.
