The steering wheel mount that comes with the kit is just not good.
What other ideas have you guys/gals come up with.
Pictures would be choice!
Thanks in advance! |

I don't have a pic handy, but I felt the same way so I did this:
Took a piece of angle aluminum (1" x 1" legs). Cut it to about 4" long. Drill out one side of it to accept the buttons and then drill a couple of holes in the other 'leg' for mounting holes. Then mounted it to the right hand side nassau brace so the buttons are in the up position and toward the center of the kart. All the wires reach easily and it's out of the way yet easy to reach. Be sure to round off all the corners just in case your knee gets up into it.

Yeah, Same concept - I just made mine. Simply drilled out the angle aluminum for each button, took them out of the steering wheel mount and attached them to what I made. My kart is at the track or I'd have a pic for you.
