Need part G310 Flange hub 3/4" bore for Carter Carter Brothers 2336 - ZXH -Pls Help This part is discontinued and I can't find it anywhere on the internet. It's the rear flange hub off the back right wheel. This is a pic of the Kart...

Maybe^^^^

It's the rear drive hub on a Red Talon.

 

[Edwin Spangler]

Show us a picture.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see its a rare piece that someone would not need a picture of, if they were to have one for sale. Surprised nobody has come up with a DIY replacement yet.

I had the same hub on my Carter kart. Best bet is to use some steel hollow tubing, Make 4 lengths for the 4 sprocket bolts and one larger one for the center bolt. Just cut all to the right, same length. I've done this on a bunch of mini bikes for sprocket spacing. Last resort if you find one, which is unlikely. Wish I had computer skills to show a drawing of what I mean. lol.

I had a damaged one. Put it in the hands of a guy that could TIG it and fix it. Then, he got arrested. Don’t think I’ll see it again with what he’s facing

 

[Grizzlymi]

Yeah, that sucks indeed. Always "that guy" that can help in a pinch, then he gets pinched! I'll try and dig up a pick of what I'm talking about, unless you get my idea.

 

[Parris001]

I’ll take a look at it. I appreciate it. I can weld. I was hoping for an aluminum original one

Part #24 - G222 Drive hub 1 3/8" bore (on the Red Talon). Seems to be a few different part numbers for this 'clover hub"



Instead of must-have-original-parts, you might see what's available for regular one-wheel peel karts and minibikes. It's a drive wheel with an extended hub that will take a sprocket.

For example:

5" Drive Wheel (2-7/8" Bolt Pattern)| MAN5DW-13050

Thatone is a tubeless rim which may be quite annoying if everything else is split-rim tube-type.

Keep your eye on that famous auction site, Failbook marketplace, craigslist and so forth for that Carter hub even if it is on a complete rolling chassis that's for sale. Buy the whole thing, buy it cheap and then wash/rinse/repeat. You're going to be the Carter Brothers Parts Guy, I hereby nominate you for the position.

Take the hub off the kart and then resell what you don't use. Carter Brothers seems to have been quite a prolific manufacturer because I have seen more Carter karts on this site in the last year than any other brand (besides the broken Chinese buggies people ask about) so luck will be on your side.

It seems to me that they used some high quality material that out-lasted the competition. I had spots on the frame that had 1/8" of rot or more. I thought it would be fully rotten through. Cleaned that off, gave it the hammer/chisel test, structural integrity seems untouched. Everything seems like it had two layers of metal. The outer layer rots off but it seems to have left the inner, structural tubing intact. I wonder if its supposed to do that?

The stuff is a nightmare to drill though in some places also. I ruined two bits yesterday, oiling/cooling them the whole time.

I wonder if it's not some kind of chromoly tubing instead of a sort of mild 'junk steel' like we see on the Chinese stuff and everything modern

How hard would it be to recreate these hubs out of melted beer cans? Have seen people on the tube with aluminum cans and a crucible sand casting the metal into ingots or other things.

Can you like, draw on a napkin with a sharpie and snap a pic with your hell phone? A perfect digitally rendered illustration is overkill.

Quick rendering of what I mean if drawing makes sense.

 

[Hellion]

You are an artisté

 

[Grizzlymi]

Make sense?

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

An illustration! What a concept!!

 

[Hellion]

Well there’s an area or areas on your drawing that are not described. To the extreme right, what is the structure? Looks like the side view of a disk brake rotor, or a two tier wedding cake…

How are the tubes held together?
