[Kartbuilding] a new pic

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Ami,

Good idea with the brakes attached to the steering levers. Thanks for
your photos and dxf.
By pulling/pushing hard on the steering lever, you will get good tension
on the short belt so the brake should work.

Let us know how it goes.
Best of luck,
