It "Floats" Once the Disc is in between the Caliper shoes it can't fall completely out.

Lame! There's too much play in it. It has a lot of wiggle room when it is in the caliper. I think I will figure out a better way to mount it, so it won't wobble around.

I have the same one on my Krate. It seems you could use the Bolts in the caliper, and bolt to a different mounting bracket.
In that case it is my belief that then you remove the set screw on the Disc (not the Key) and then the Disc floats. I believe 1 of the 2 parts caliper or disc is supposed to float.

I dunno why that is just what I read on here somewhere and more than once.

Anyway. Cut off those axle hangers and put them on top.

I was knuckle deep in the front end, when I ran out of welding wire!

I used a Harbor Freight universal joint to bring the steering column from horizontal to vertical.

I just need to weld down the bottom support, and the steering column will be done. Then I have to go back and weld in some small prices to cover the ends of the exposed square tube that makes the steering g column supports. https://vimeo.com/202129419

Well.... a key got stuck on the axle, which jammed a wheel on it. I proceeded to hammer, whack, and bang away until the situation got out of control.
Option 1: I can either cut the wheel off, and hope I don't ruin the axle.
Option 2: Cut the axle in half and just punch it out of the wheel.

I've never screwed something up, as bad as I've screwed up this axle! I feel defeated...

DUDE!!!! You can't capitalize or punctuate properly. Does i mean you feel so little of yourself that you can't even take the time to hit ONE KEY to elevate yourself to "I"?

I was curious to see where this would go. I was gonna throw some gas on the fire, but decided to just watch from the sideline.

I guess you were the last to know....

BTW: This dipstick probably doesn't even know what "spiel" means.

Did I miss something with fastsr?? Poboy I don't think he gets your sense of humor lolol

By the way Courts love the U-joint, steering at awkward angles is a pain in the neck

I liked the idea of it too.... the cheap u-joint had too much play, before it would actually grab the wheel and turn. Maybe an 1/16 of a turn, before it would actually turn the wheel. I changed it to a more normal set up.

It is nice having the steering wheel and a normal driving angle.

Get a couple "Split type" locking Collars for that disc brake with the Broken hex.
The original type never hold anyway.

I have some. I had the disk on the axle so I could get the brake caliper mount welded on. It was the head of a ball allen, so I think there will be enough space in there to get a little bit of an allen wrench in. That's what I get for buying the cheap set of ball allens.

I always break those ball end ones too.
Recently I had a really stuck allen screw and I welded a normal allen wrench to it...
It broke! Ooops. at least it was not a set screw though. I ended up heating the thing with a torch and using vise grips to get the allen head bolt out.
Bottom line is Allens Kinda Suck!

We may never know! This may be the last wheelbarrow Go Kart I make. While searching for hot rods last night, I discovered something called a Cycle Car (or Cart or Kart). I'm thinking about making one of those next. This is an example of one! It's pretty freaking cool!

The wheels are just so dang expensive. About $80-$100 each (for cheap ones)
