My thought as well. Looks like a Chicago screw holding the two together... maybe it's a splined connection? Either way, seems scary on the brake pedal. |

The OTK brake pedal has a pin system that locks everything into place at the hinge point. Its pretty trick and very adjustable.
This pedal system will make it much easier to fit short drivers with correct pedal positioning.

Chris. I would imagine they put a little thought into the pedal design

A quick Googling found this:
It has a pin, but that looks like a tiny pin to be essentially standing on under braking. Quite a bit of mechanical advantage on that. |

Nothing too big as far as mechanical changes go it looks like.
I like seeing the new graphics. The BRM with the double front bar isn't really a new concept but interesting to see it in use.

Front bar placement seems to have changed in quite a few of the chassis. Many going back to the older style front end design where welds aren't directly at the spindle yolk.

| Did Birel always manufacture the First Kart brand? I didn't think they did, but now it's listed as a brand under the Birel umbrella on the Birel website. |

I'm with you Chris!
Don't think I could trust that Little pin!

Do those otk pedals really just have one pin, or did the drawing just take out the others so you could see through the holes? I might trust it if all those holes had pins, but with just one you're putting a lot of force on a very small part...

| The CAD drawing makes it look like only one hole is aligned at a time, so that there would only be one pin engaged. |
