2016 - Beer Crate Racer (winner)

Speaking of Phil Shifty....I have a leaky fish pond....(long story) so investigated 'Liquid Flex Seal'.... it does come in clear...(absolute must)....but a gallon is $89+ shipping! A quart might do me...but it's over $40 with shipping!!!

I can't imagine what the actual retail price is Bob (including shipping) ...that they use in those commercials!

OK....Bob, I bid $999!

I have a leaky fish pond too. But Flex seal costs way more, than Pond sealant! I just use a Flexible poly pond liner.

I am not Bob! He would just return the empty can and get it for Free

 

[Poboy kartman]

Yeah...That's the thing, the sides and bottom of this pond have river stones and seashells set in mortar . (Which BTW...took a while.)

Oh...not you....not Bob....Bob Barker, silly!

Well the Clown on Ebay still has not shipped my Copper! but yesterday he did create a shipping label. Baby Steps. Never buy from anyone in San Leandro Ca!!!!
However Good news is I also Ordered parts From TEXAS.
Specifically GoPowerSports.com. Where i recieved a 10% discount using coupon code DIYGOKARTS. I ordered on Tuesday and the parts arrived today. 48 hrs or less. That is excellent service.
What parts you ask?
I got my 60 tooth Sprocket, So I can put it on the Axle and see how the Krate fits. and a Mechanical Brake caliper and mount. All these go at the rear of the Krate ( Which is NOT finished due to lack of COPPER!!!!) oh sorry... the parts will get nestled into the Krate.
Pics in a few!

I was actually about to pull the trigger on an order from them today, but Amazon doesn't seem to have a set-up to enter the code?

I'll have to call GPS and sort it out...(not a big deal...small order...3 or $4 diff)

 

[chancer]

Just go Direct. Amazon is taking a cut. So they could not afford to offer Disc.
We do not offer disc. on Ebay, cause they take 8% and then Paypal gets 1.5% more.

O **** drive your lazy but to keller!

 

[Poboy kartman]

I'm close...but not that close...figure an hour total...and at least $3 worth of gas...ummm...we don't do California math here.

In case that confuses you...."Go ask Siri"....

BTW: I don't have an I phone...so I can't do it...but what does Siri say if you ask: WHO is Poboy?

 

[chancer]

She just Bring up Wikipedia and it is about a Poboy samich from weezeeanna!

So pretty basic parts here is the 60 tooth sprocket and Brake caliper. From GoPowerSports.com.
I gotta take the brake caliper apart and reverse its lever (I think).

 

[chancer]

So with the Krate on, the Sprocket has 1/4" of space to the Krate even with chain on. Perfect!
But the Brake disc is about a 1/4" too big. I could bend the bottom Copper slat to clearance it, or cut a "slit in the slat." lol
This is a 7-1/4" rotor, that came with my wheels and stuff. I wonder if I can find a 6" rotor to match the current hub. This one is a tank anyway!

 

[Poboy kartman]

Dang boy...you got a purty little hub and socket there....lemme hear ya squeal like a pig....(sorry...Deliverance flashback) ....

But that thing is jest screamin to have three tubes welded on it!

How many jackshafts are you aiming for?

 

[Flyinhillbilly]

Do you know anyone with a lathe that might be able to take a little off if the rotor to make it work? I'd do it for you, but by the time it was shipped both ways you'd probably be going backwards money wise.

Sweet build, IDK why I didn't read it before lol.

Good idea, but sadly No. and thanks for the offer, but yeah they are like 17 bucks so shipping this old used one... Meh... not worth it. I will find one. I need a 6" rotor.

Sometimes I have them lol. As the only Quality person here period in the evening, they tend to forget about me, but when they remember, they pile it on.
