Here's the difference:

My gillard has "diagonal" lower steering column mounts. Here's a picture:

This intrepid has the parallel bars:

Now if your kart has the parallel bars then you can use one that mounts to the bars like this:

If however you have diagonal bars like me, then you need to use a set that you bolt to the floor tray like this:

I hope that makes it a bit more understandable? I'd definitely recommend getting some though, made me feel more comfortable in the kart, probably because it kept my feet still. They also helped when i had quite a spectacular crash and ended up performing a 360 in mid air out on to the main straight, i believe i would have come out of the seat if i didn't have the heel rests to brace against. Hope this helps, Thomas...........
