I saw this set-up about 5 years ago when I bought a pair of 820's from EJ. I thought it was bordering on genius but couldn't figure out how I could justify it as vintage. :roll: Probably could get away with it on the barstool racer though. 8-)

Seems to me everything is REAR legal. The starters are pure genius and every bit as "Vintage" as the 90s Honda Prelude starter featured on the REAR website. Personally I hope to see it, or one like it, in September. Gotolovit....

Just for info....I got these starter setups from EJ Korecky a few years back. I had to do my own mounts for the original WB Mounting System. EJ's mounts were for a 2 rail kart. This starter setup works great. Gene

Abut as 'vintage' as a Honda Prelude.........
Too bad it was done to a vintage chassis.
Loose the WKA crash bars, and electric starters
(and what ever else has been done to it)
and enjoy vintage karting.
