Title: Pedal adjustments / welder questions
Post by: KSMotorsports11 on December 06, 2010, 10:08:03 pm: My son is 12 y.o. and is 4'3" tall and the car we bought has the pedals maxed out (behind the 600 racing rack/pinion) as far as bringing them closer to his feet. I also have to purchase a seat that fits him but I test fitted him with where the new seat will go and my man's feet still wouldn't reach. So my question is...would it be more beneficial for me to bring the pedals to the other side of the steering box or mount pedal extensions and leave them where they hang?

My second questions is...can anyone suggest a good MIG welder (Lincoln Electric, etc) for someone that is in the market for a starter welder. I will have to start off with a 110v, but I will eventually move up to a 220v Mig/gas.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

You can get a 220V Wire Feed flux core or gas from Harbor Freight for around $200.00.
I don't use it for safety related stuff, but it works fine

So what I have gathered is that a 220V welder at $200+ is a better way to go for the safety/needs of the car.
Fair enough.

Thanks again everyone on their input.

This leads me to my next question...does anyone know who sells pedal extensions or is it acceptable to fabricate your own?
