Hi...new here but not new to mechanics and welding and such...Just starting to put together a cart for ME so I can chase my 6 year old grandson around the yard ! He has a much smaller cart ! What is the favorite spot to get the basics ? (tires...rims...brakes...pedals...etc) Lot of stuff on Northern Tool ! I want good quality but not spend a fortune ! Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks a bunch....
Bud.

Try Go Power Sports; they offer forum members a 10% discount; see this thread for discount code...

BMI Karts stock & prices are good but, they kill you with the shipping...

Also BMI Karts but order on the phone. Their website computes and Charges Shipping
As if it worked for the Clinton Foundation!

Is bmi cheaper if you call them? I got cheap parts recently but but raped on shipping.

Yes. YES YES! I keep trying to post that as often as it comes up!

That is the secret tip to BMI. Shop online, order by phone.
They even admit it!
I found out cause I complained and they refunded me 7 bucks in excess Shipping!

Everywhere but Northern Tool!

Seriously, shop around and be vigilant. There's no shame in getting a "piece from here and a piece from there".

Fleabay is good too, for odds and ends.

Don't forget http://www.mfgsupply.com/ and their $6.99 flat rate shipping!

My bad. I'll go read 18,000 posts real quick. Or maybe everywhere there is a bmi post we should comment on calling them.

Okay, so next time I call them!

Oh and to start craigslist, find cheap used kart and then buy parts to make it new again.

Gopowersports.com has some steep prices vs. BMI but if you get the 10% and order enough for free shipping it's a wash. Ebay has the best deals so far but I did just order a ton from BMI and gopowersports.com. Shipping was high from BMI but it was a huge heavy box so maybe over paid like 10.00 but saved a lot on the clearance items.
