Dune cat inventory for sale - exiting business Hi All, Due to some big changes in my life (move, job change, etc) I am going to exit the Dune Cat business. I have the following for sale: 1. Original 72 Orange big flake restored - this is the kart used to develop the new mold. It has the...

Push to get these to market Hi All, I am gonna push to get these first three complete. I have decided on using the MCP master cylinger to get more stopping power due to its larger cylinder bore. I've attached a picture of one of the 2 Sisters Keisler burnin' a trail this summer in the '72...

Man, that is one funny video! Love it! I had a 1968 black R/T 440-4speed charger just like the bad guys. I would never have guessed the vw beetle would take it. Ha!

Floating Steering Column Attached pics show the floating steering column. I mentioned about this a few posts back. The benefits are: 1. Column doesn't rub the body hole opening 2. Weight reduction 3. Improved appearance 4. Added a delrin bushing top and bottom of shaft to provide better...

Hey Folks, I have some pics to show the recent progress. This post shows my change to frame design. Like I posted earlier here, the body flexes when going over bumps. The heavier the rider, the more flex. I want to minimize the flex to reduce wear & tear on the fiberglass body. But I do not...

Check out the Dune Cat thread. Definitely Manx inspired. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

qtband, Sure will. It is actually done now with the frame on the table. I just need to get some pictures of everything once I get the nose mount and rear struts done.

Casey, Thank you for the questions. The mold was developed off an original body which I believe to be 1972 because of the seat cover type and decal type ("Sandy Claws"). The early seat covers attached differently than say the 1974 blue body with the "Confident Cat" decal. For reference, the...

Yes, I have been running the Dune Cat really hard with both adults and kids. It has provided some excellent feedback for me to reflect into the production units underway now: 1. mechanical front drum brakes out - if they were hydraulic drum, the braking force would be balanced left to right...

Ok, sounds good. Given a new engine/clutch, I would not expect much difference. If the clutch was already worn in, then the rollers may not contact the ramp surface entirely, leading to a mismatch of surfaces. I would run the $10 rollers first.

just FYI .... I am building two complete Dune Cats for some local customers. One purchased the Briggs Vanguard 6hp for $199 and the other purchased the Kohler 9.5hp for $299. I will post some pics up on the build thread for the Dune Cat once I get them installed in the next couple of weeks.

Halstead, I've added the pics as promised. That is what is included in the price to your door. You will not need the brakes, so take them off, and side your sprocket on and retainer. With the attached pics, I am showing the performance parts for the transmission clutch. The roller weight...

Sure Halstead, I will put some pics up of the actual engine. I am attaching some schematics of the rear swing arm assy and engine. Yours should look like this. The rollers are easy to change out and it is not worth paying me or anyone to do this. It is a simple matter of: removing the...

Just an option if you want more power, I have a Tecumseh Powersport 6.5HP in very good condition for $120 delivered to your door. I pulled it off a low hour Murray Kilowatt kart that I just upgraded to 9HP. I pulled the carb, fully disassembled it, gave it a deep clean in the carb dip tank...

Halstead64, I have that engine in stock, completely assembled with the swingarm cage, muffler, wiring, carb, breather. It is new takeoff for $599 shipped to your door. Lots of good parts to have handy. Or you can use the spare swing arm assy to build another kart. I also can get you the...
