call Bill at B&K manufacturing. Hes a club sponsor and in the lastest issue of the Mania. I was just there this morning and I know he has some windshield clamps that you could build a rack on.

Dennis Long, AKA dennis and cathy, built one for his teal buggy using square tubing and the B&K windshield clamps. Worked great.
