John ReikesParticipant
Huh. You guys are right. It’s hot as hell here in Los Angeles today. I just went out to the garage and tested — both gauges are working now.
John ReikesParticipantMike ended up still being able to use his mount with his new chassis. So I’m still looking for a Swedetech mount.
John ReikesParticipantChanging this from a “WTT” to a “FS” post.
Here’s a link to what it looks like:

John ReikesParticipantPM’ed.
John ReikesParticipantWheels are sold. Mag front hubs are still available.
John ReikesParticipantThey are still available. The wheels are black. 130mm front (3×67 bolt pattern), 210mm rear (3×58 bolt pattern).
John ReikesParticipantLooks like you have too many numbers in that phone number…
Where are you located? What is the condition of the wheels? Are these 130/210 shifter wheels or something else?
John ReikesParticipantStill looking… Had one potentially lined up, but it fell through.
Anyone?

John ReikesParticipantQuick update: I emailed Simpson about their device. They responded that the current Hybrid system is made to work with shoulder belts, so it wouldn’t work in a kart. However, they are currently working on something for karting.
John ReikesParticipantI’ve seen the Valhalla one and am not convinced it’s the right answer. The thing I like about the Simpson device is that it uses same basic principle as a HANS device — it tethers your helmet to your body to prevent your head from whipping one way or the other in an impact and the tethers are a little bit elastic so they gradually slow those movements as they stretch.
The Valhalla works like a neck collar or Leatt brace — they just try to give a stopping point for your head’s motion and then transfer the additional force to your shoulders/chest/back, etc.
The HANS and Simpson devices are pulling while the Leatt, Valhalla, and neck collar devices are pushing.
John ReikesParticipantI don’t follow why you think the Simpson device isn’t a good fit for karting. The reason a standard HANS device won’t work on a kart is that you need shoulder straps to hold it in place to work properly. This Simpson thing doesn’t need those shoulder straps. If you couple this with a collar, I feel like you’d be covering every base. Unfortunately, it’s DAMN expensive.
John ReikesParticipantThanks to everyone for the responses so far. I expected there to be differing opinions. I’m surprised that everyone says the foam collars provide no neck protection. While I can see that they’re clearly imperfect, I don’t see how they wouldn’t help a little.
I’m glad to hear HANS is getting into this. I think the problem is different enough from moto-x to require a different solution.
