The rack is made up of aluminum and crs. The rack and pinion gears were purchased from Reid Tool Supply. I am not sure how to post the .pdf drawings. PM me your e-mail and I would gladly give you the design I can dig up the pt#'s if you want from reid as well. Kevin

Ya its a logitech force feedback unit. It was outdated and taking up space so I cut it up. I milled out the center fit a 1/8 plate to the inside and outside and welded an adapter to the outer plate. It works alright and my son gets a kick out of the extra buttons.(they don't do anything yet)

Yes I designed and built the rack myself. There are groves inside the rack body to hold grease and I should put a fitting in. The rust is from hitting a snow pile on the road that was full of salt. They salt the roads here in winter. The steering is just tacked because I wanted to see how it...

POR 15 works well and you can brush it on and it smooths out. A bit expensive though.

I usually run the local Quick 16 Heads-up class on a .400 tree. The last time I went out I ran a 10.80 at 130mph at Grand Bend Motorplex in Ontario Canada. The front suspension works great as it is a street car as well. Thanks for the good words. Kevin

I use SolidWorks 2007. Its ok for that kind of stuff.

Hello all, I have been reading here for a while and decided to join. I am building a fun kart for my son and will be no doubt asking some questions. So far I have a Corvette body some wheels and tires and a motor with a tav2 30 torque converter. I will be building my own frame and roll cage...
