Come along way since February. Frame sandblasted and engine rebuilt. Had part of the pan sectioned out and it didn’t look good, so I decided to replace the whole pan. It looks good other than the surface rust. They used a heavier gauge of metal on the pan and I’m sure it has added weight. Also...
I need to replace the threads on this gas tank. Outside diameter in the new steel bung is 1 3/4. Is this doable or should I look for something larger? I’ve seen kart tanks that have this type of bung and cap setup. Enclosing a picture to show what I’m working with. Ed
Would painting a vintage kart a different color take away from the value
Of the kart? I have a Mcculloch R1, instead of going with yellow, I was thinking Bahamma blue. Any minuses to this? Ed
