Seat Molding

Currently in the workshop we have been re-designing the cockpit section of the go-kart. We have made the decision to sink the seat down in the frame. This creates a more ergonomic ride for the driver, and makes more space for the driver to make themselves comfortable in eg. bend their legs.
A plywood sheet will become the seat and seat-back, while the metal helps shape the wood and protects the driver if the seat breaks in a crash.
