    Unbelievable Tig Welder deal, ... Harbor Freight

    I just bought a bottle filled with Argon and a regulator. I took it all to work to try out and, ... I left my freaking welding helmet at home.

    Arachnid Build, ... or is it! (Highly Modified)

    Machine, ... Nope, I got it right, ... It was you I was replying to in post #135. This part was coupled to a 1.5L engine so it will definitely be strong enough for what ever I power plant put in it. Just by throwing my eyeball down the hole, ... it has 20 splines. ;) I'm hoping to find a...

    Wobbly, I have good news and bad news for you. I will give you the bad news first so you will feel happy at the end! :D Bad News: The problem is you have now widened the suspension block to over 8.0". You still need to add the added spindle bracket dimensions that we use for A-arm pivots...

    Hi Guy's, A mechanic friend of mine gave me the idea to use a differential from a car to use for the rear drive to go along with using CV halfshafts. Last night, he gave me a small differential from a 1985 Toyota Tercel. I think it might be possible to use this, if I can find a sprocket to fit...

    My first Go-Kart build

    Welcome and Good luck with your build. :thumbsup: The pictures you have posted, remind me of a backwards crime scene, ... of a stolen car. It appears as if they stolen everything that they usually leave behind. What you have pictured here is usually the parts you will never see again. :D

    The quality of these spindle brackets from BMI are extremely poor. I think the QC guy in the factory, took a week or so off without a replacement. Actually Grizz, ... I really don't think your going to need any shim stock. The front parts fit well enough. I just laid the A-arms with the...

    Whats wrong, the 955i seems a bit much? :D The only thing I dont like about the TT is it being air cooled. I had a TT and I know the fun it will provide, but I want a bit more than the average go kart. I want some FUN! ;)

    What machining was involved and what is that hub you have on their. It looks like something that could work. I don't think the engine size is of any importance for the half shafts. My Metro is a 1.3L and I couldn't harm them in any way if I tried, although, ... I will go with a 1.250" center...

    Theo, I am not 100% sure, but I believe so. It is an A body GM part. I would be using (2) drivers side half shafts if I went this route. They are the short ones, the long ones are on the passenger-side (engine on the passenger-side and transmission on the driver side). As for the engine, I am...

    Which spindles? And other questions.....

    Kent, If you are going to use 5/8x18 x 4.5" spindles. I have (2) complete sets that I could part with if you wanted one of the sets. I bought them from BMI who I believe gets the exact same ones as Azuza Engineering. Anyhow, ... I would be willing to take a small loss on them as I wont be...

    I sure like those $20.00 ones. The price is excellent to say the least. These are the ones I was eyeballing for $60.00 each. I would then use the front steering knuckles and modify them or make an adapter to mount them to the A-arms. If I went with the $20.00 parts, ... how will they be...

    Hi devino, No I haven't bought a bottle or gauge for it yet. I have a bottle at work I will try on it first before I buy one. I figure I better try it first and see how it performs first. If I don't like it, ... ebay it will go.

    The plans call for the suspension block to be 5.". "If" you made it 6.", your fine, but if you made it 2." over, that would mean your suspension block is 7." and it's to wide. It shouldn't be a huge hassle to make it smaller unless you welded the hell out of the rack mount. If you did weld the...
