It is actually a combined version of yours and wire99s.
I'll consider a floor pan but I don't think its necessary because I'm the only one driving it and my feets are "stuck" between the steeringrods and gas and brake pedals..
Oh yeah - consider welding in a "belly pan" below where the drivers legs go. That would add some stiffness to the frame, and prevent injury in case an arm or a leg got down there.
I used ducttape to fasten the box for having a extra bottle of feul or just using it for transport. But I would prefer electricity because the quietness =)
I don't think bellypan is needed when the steeringarms are locking the feets in place.
Yeah, I felt that way, too, but one of the first "guest" riders of my kart got a foot down there while it was rolling. No real injury, but it was possible, and it gave me a scare. So, are you going to go electric on this one?
what did it cost?

Definetly put in a floor pan mate. Imagine if you got your feet trapped down there.
Nice kart anyway, Kinda looks like mine.

I like that. Is the tote box just sitting there, or is it fastened down? That could be pretty handy, or it could allow for incredible fuel capacity!

Oh well... How thick is your "belly pan"?
I don't think I going electric on this one. But if I find a cheap electric engine somewhere I gonna build another kart with 2 seat.

My belly pan was sheet metal I had lying around - I believe it's .060". In practice, it's mostly something to step on while getting into the seat.
