Tom,

The February 1964 Karting World magazine has a Neal test on whats called a Torsion Flex Kart.

The seat looks almost exactly like a Dart A-Bone seat, smooth material and flat side cushions. Kart also appears to have a narrow steering hoop and the 'sack' pad follows the lines of the steering hoop.

Wouldn't be all that surprised if the same folks who made Rupp seats didn't make these also.

Happy Thanksgiving.

R.E.A.R.
