Looking for some guidance and parts for a Little Red Bug!

Stuart, I have done the "cut out the middle of the steel" and attach an aluminum pan. Just be careful not to warp the steel from the heat. Bug would put in the two side strips of steel and slide the pan in like a tray. Some karts used 1/4" screws and nuts, most used Pop rivets. A strip across the axle strengthens the front of the aluminum pan. You can pop rivet the pan to the seat back. Some Bugs, like my dual stinger, had tabs around the perimeter of the seat back tube to hold the tank. The tank itself made the back of the seat. I will try to attach a pic of my '73 Stinger. If you look close/zoom up. you can see that the tank is the seat back. You can see the seat fabric between the tabs. Sorry for the Instamatic photo! TJ
