I seen before that someone made a tilt steering bracket for a rail. I don't remember who it was or who sells it. Does anyone know who has them?

Thanks

I wanted it so that I can adjust it so that my son can learn to drive it and it would be easy for him if the steering wheel was where he could reach it better. Don't like the chrome though, I thought that someone makes them on here or did make their own.

Thanks Bruce, I have to say that I am the happiest now than I have been in years. Going back to work has made a big difference. Getting to build a better buggy and upgrade is my reward to my son and myself. There isn't anything wrong with my old frame just getting an upgrade. Mine would make a great single seater as narrow as it is and light.

Oh yeah on mine if your wondering what the rigged up nuts are. I had to bend the adjusting pin because you could not pull it back if you have a quick disco. I suppose you could if you had a longer shaft after the tilt but that puts the steering wheel closer than wanted..

I had wandered about that Nick. If you have any more photos of it I would like to see it. Would you do it again if you had to do it over? What are the pros and cons of it?

I love it, as of now im still in the process of building. I will take some more pics tomorrow. I like being able to move my steering down for slower riding then about in the middle for more aggressive. Also my girlfriend will be driving so everything is going to be adjustable to her and my son when hes old enough to drive it, he's 2 lol...

Start them off young and they will never forget it. My son is 9 and loves to ride. He helped some today in tearing this one down. He was a little saddened that we are getting rid of it and another one. Myself I see it as improving and adding safety and alot of room.
Thanks for offering the pictures, I will be waiting to see them.
