Vince Hughes makes/sells a number of really solid parts for 580's and others. His steel engine mount is a repop of the original heavy duty West Bend mount. He has beautiful open exhausts for the 580 as well. Don't forget you must have a chain guard. Vince is one of the vintage kart crowd, and deserves our support.
