PEDAL AND STEERING
The adjustable pedal:
the old problem concerning the different
heights of the several people driving
the karts has been finally solved. By
means of a simple but refined transmission
system of the gas pedal control and of
the brake pump leverage you can obtain
up to 10 cm, which correspond to a height
difference ranging between about 1,60
m
and 1,80 m.
The drag links: they
have been manufactured by making use of
a special tied plastic material, which
is particularly sturdy and elastic at
the same time, and can withstand very
violent impacts without breaking (up to
over 60 kg of transversal load). The Uni-bals
which connect the steering columns to
the spindles are screwed on special ˆ
anodized aluminium bushings of different
colours (silver right screw thread and
golden left screw thread) in order to
make also the convergence adjustment very
easy.
The Spindles: they
are the essential elements characterizing
the forecarriage, the connection point
of front wheels, through which the kart
can be driven. They have been expressly
manufactured to withstand a continuous
and hard use, their body is made of precision
casting steel, the lever is composed by
two parts which have been forged and electrowelded
to make the whole detail sturdy but light
at the same time.
The stem is the most delicate detail,
which is more subject to impacts and is
made of C40 steel. On purpose this is
the point absorbing the energy of the
most violent impacts and actually it bends
not to damage the frame. It can be withdrawn
and easily replaced. The spindle is fastened
to the frame by means of a ¡ 12
mm net screw and two balls.
