You might want to check with a Dive shop on the regulators. It's my undertanding that a first stage diving reg will easily go down to 140 psi if not further. There's also the added benefit of not needing a SCUBA adapter then. Also most of the ones I've seen have at least three output ports, two that are regulated and one that isn't. Shouldn't be all that hard to find the fitting needed to hook up HPA tanks to that high pressure output port on the diving reg. The problem I'm currently in is that I'm attempting to use welding regs. Since I already have two SCUBA fill stations I wasn't concerned about that, their output range is from 0 to 200 psi and they can handle up to 4000 psi coming in. Do your best, afterall it really isn't my design, just a combination of two different things I thought would work well. I don't know about pressure sender switches but you might want to check with a welding supply place. They probably don't carry anything like that onhand but they might know enough to point you in the right direction or order the right thing for you. $100 bucks? Well I think so, actually I've bought two of the high end $150 versions and I'm toying with the idea of getting a third for next season. If I can scrape up the expendable cash anyway. The things are simply incredible plus there's the added benefit that they're very loud. We do a lot of promotional work with the Tiger for our sponsor prior to an event and we really get attention when we fire off a round in a parking lot. The dual gun setups that I've gotten a close look at are simply a couple of small triangles welded onto the crank with some sort of clamping setup. The triangles are aligned so that if you looked at them down the shaft of the crank they would look like a Star of David. That gives the alternating fire between guns. When the crank turns each time the point of a triangle rotates by it pushes the trigger and the flat area lets the trigger release. They also seem to work better if the crank is turn backwards or so that the tip of the triangle hits the top of the trigger first. As for the go-kart, I'd look for a used one, at least the frame anyway. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the suspension on many of them isn't meant for off road use. I would imagine that the heavier duty ones are going to be more expensive. Saw a guy bring one to the Big Game here on LI and he bent on of the front steering arms before the game even started.
