    new powder coat

    I love this color, its bronco blue. I also welded some tubing in for more support. I am looking to add some net on the sides so if it rolls over my kids arms won't fly out.

    Go Cart Rebuilt

    I don't mean to be critical, but you have to much heat in your welds on the last pic. To much heat will make the metal weak and prone to breaking. You are doing a fine job.

    bought a new buggy and want to change out everything

    have you tried this

    the filter has what looks like to be steel wool inside of it. so I soak the filter in tranny oil, cut a black sock, zip tie it on and call it good. seems to work for a pre filter just fine.
