Where can I buy Fox Kart upholstery, peddles, etc??????
This kart has 2 engine mounts welded onto the frame, not the Box mount, so can someone tell me which model it is??
Thanks.

Re: Reproduction Fox Accessories???
Rick,
You probably have a 1961 Fox kart. I would have to look at the front axle king-pin brackets and some other pictures to be sure.
The pedals that are closest are made by Manco-Fox; they just retooled them but they changed the bottom so you would have to do some welding, grinding and plating to get them to work.
The seat upholstery isn't available as a kit for you to install. You will have to send the seat to an upholsterer to have it redone. I use A-1 Foam & Upholstery in the twin cities.
I'm having some of the throttle brackets made and they will be available in a few weeks. They will be copies of the original but made from stainless steel. They will have a hex hole for mounting on the hex cross shaft. The hex shaft was used on everything from 1962 through the end of production and a kit was made for retrofitting the 1961. The new ones will work on a .250 round shaft that was on the 1961 kart.
Hope this helps,
