Title: WTB Racing cockpit DYI kit-Who would get in on one?
Post by: drmlvr on June 21, 2006, 08:21:24 pm

Anybody,
Has anyone seen or built one of these racing cockpits before?  I am really interested in purchasing one of their kits but don't really want to pay $90.00 (69.00+shipping).  Would anyone like to go in on this with me?  The kit has some hardware included but whoever pays the extra difference can keep the hardware.  All I need is a copy of the stencil.  I know I don't have many posts and have only been around for a little over a year.  But if someone else wants to take the lead I can contribute.  What do you all think?  THANKS

Mike

That is a nice one.  But I don't know, this one just seems more stylish-compact to me.

The "kit" only supplies the template(s).  One must provide their own seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc.  I can't tell what is on these examples, they look like a plastic molded type of seat??
