    awesome! Floor tray is baller. Put the tony kart pedals in, colour will match the tie rods and should not look out of place also will contrasr with the floor tray better. CNC an aluminum block up to retro fit the tony kart foot rests on as well. bellissimo 👌🤜

      @@PowerRepublic sounds like a good deal to me so that will be 1 round each before we get to QLD? both in birels this year with a bit of luck they can clean sweep the 5 rounds with a 1-2 series finish (would be great for a tie though)
