We bought a plastic block that attaches with Velcro straps. Bought it three years ago at golf store on 466 between Lighthouse Seafood and Morse. Can’t remember name of store.

You could attach the sanding block the same way. I'm guessing the sanding block is the black flat on the bottom round on the top hard rubber one.

The cart we bought has the seats that adjust back and forth so we thought we could do without a block, but she thinks it would be handy to have one. Anyone know where I might be able to find one?

If you show it to Paul Miller he can either make one or even maybe one better. He is a handyman in TV and was a Welder Fabricator in Pa. His # is 610-730-6354 Paul works with Therapists when furniture or things need to be done to help their patients, and also works for several realtors when homes have problems before and after the sale. If I sound prejudice I am he is my husband.

I'm no Thom McCann but I think they would only work if they can be worn backwards.

I'm going to take a guess...and say you've never raced cars?


It's called..."heel & toeing." :D





And yes, for my 'fans,' I'm joking...as obviously we don't have to brake and downshift our carts at the same time.

I kept them going. That was good enough.

Ditto on the sanding block. I used some heavy duty rubber bands to attach it. I cut them from an old motorcycle inner tube. It brings the contact point closer to the driver, but not quite as much as the block of wood.

I was at Brownwood Golf Cart store about 6 months ago and saw a pedal on the counter. It appeared to be a gas pedal extender that was shaped like a metal foot (similar to the old hot rod gas pedals) and extending a couple inches... I didn't investigate at the time, but might be worth looking into. It appeared to be something that screwed to the pedal, but could be made portable / detachable.

Yes I have one for sale. Charlie. 430 3367

I saw that also. It appears to be more of a permanent install device though, so won't be practical.

Block on PEDAL
 
[QUOTE=VillageIdiots;1541118]The guy I bought my cart from

How about this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, get some scrap Styrofoam, left at the curb sides for pickup, then use two very large cable ties available from electric supply or from Home Depot?
Just a suggestion. Styro foam may be available form the Furniture stores too. A lot of it comes with TV sets.

Hope this helps.
