Didn't get much done today, mostly wandering around the shop looking for things I know I have somewhere. I did get the engine mounted however.

I had an hour in the shop this evening. I started cutting out some hubs for the brake and sprocket.
Then i bent up and tacked in the dash bar. |

More progress today. My wife came out and gave me a hand and took pictures.
Here I am doing some hammer work on the instrument cluster. Cutting threads on the ends of the tie rods Templating the sides of the body. Being silly |

Didn't make a lot of progress tonight but I did make the large sprocket hub. It still needs a keyway, but it lets me get things lined up.

I decided to get a new engine for this project. The old one is cool and has sentimental value, but I don't want to keep worrying about the weight with only 2.5hp. So HF engine here I come. First of all it is necessary to check with the manufacturer to ensure the engine's compatibility.... Yep its compatible
![]() Then you need to remove all the extras they give you. Third, compare the size of the new engine with the old And finally do some clearancing on the chassis, drop it in, and make sure you can still fit. I also did some rust removal tonight. ---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ---------- I wanted to link a couple of mods for this engine in case someone else wondered. Its a good idea to remove the low oil sensor, why? http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17624 How do you get rid of all those ugly linkages on top the engine? http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34124 |

I am totally doing that on my dingo too. I was only going to make a speedo using the arduino but a magnet on the chain, the sensor from an alarm system and a 2 segment LED display instead of an LCD. If you are having more than one rider, put the LCD on a movable but stiff hinge, the viewing angles off center are atrocious.

I didn't get a chance to work on the bucket this weekend, but I did get a little done tonight.
Added a support for the jackshaft, patched in the body to the frame and tacked in the forward floor piece. |

Since I tacked in the jack shaft support and front floor it became apparent that the dash was going to be too far forward. Out comes the grinder.
Thankfully it didn't take long to tack back together. The bad part is it will require a lot more finish welding. I also welded up the steering wheel and started mocking up the clutch. ---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ---------- |

Spent way too much time in the shop tonight. I think I cut and hammered the firewall into 3 different shapes before I settled on this. It's tacked in now

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ---------- Thanks for all the positive replies, it sure helps to know someone else likes what I'm working on. There is still a lot that needs to be done: Finish welding, paint, brakes, pedals, throttle cable, chain guides, chain guards, some keyways, turning the jackshaft, front grill, seat, exhaust, muffler, intake, fuel system... Then there is a lot of extra stuff I'd like to do if I have time: Pin-striping, gauges, new tires (I think some of those ribbed slicks would look nice), lights, and more |
