My brother got this Go Kart frame and he said I could build it. Im totally new to Go Karts and wanted to start by mounting a rear axle, the Go Kart doesn't have holes all the way through the frame. What would be the best procedure to put in a rear axle. What type of axle should I use? If you could name the parts so I could buy them online or at a hardware store, thanks! :)

Now looking at the photos, does the axle go into this cylinder?

:welcome2:Pillow blocks work great for mounting axles you just bolt them on, and there cheap.
I use 1 inch axle.

Yes. That just supports the engine mount Wont support any thing alse. You Still need to get proper bearings.

What does the kart look like? Let's see the whole thing as it looks homemade and therefore special.

Look at that its got a 3/4 wrench welded on the side looks like trouble :D

Good eye, I saw that too but not that it was welded on. :eek:
I thought it was one of those things where you're wrenching on something and you walk away for a moment leaving the wrench on the nut.

Again, the OP is telling us it's a "go kart" but I'm not seeing it.
"Go kart", sure.

Here it is :)


Update: I ordered two 30mm pillow block bearings, and enquired about a 30mm round bar. Ordered a disc brake caliper with wiring and a brake rotor and a sprocket axle carrier 30mm.
