Sometimes the Kart gods are looking out for me, ... and sometimes, their on vacation. I woke up today with a massive toothache and I called in to work to tell them I'm not going to be their today. Just to far to drive when your thinking off getting out a pair of pliers and taking care of it...

What the hell, ... you actually have seen this site fast? Hell, .. my screen times out, 1/4 of the time because I have to wait so long and I have a high speed cable connection. I thought it was the norm that this place had slow servers. Slow or not, ... it's nice to have this place around...

Ok, ... my main concern was that if it moved around to much, .. it might come off the hose. Nothing like hitting the brakes and see a giezer in front of your face with the wind blowing 35 mph or so. Glad to see you have it covered! :thumbsup:

Very Cool! :thumbsup: One question if may, ... Is your reservoir hard mounted, or is it just balancing on the end of a rubber hose? Regards Bill

:idea2: I just thought of something. My Geo has 23 splines on the outer end. I checked with O'reilly auto parts web site and they confirm the outer spline count. I even checked the years when they had 12" rims and they use the same CV/Halfshafts. They had a few of those at the junk yard...

Yes, we did, ... but I measured and I just cant get one in the bed of my F-150. :roflol:

Hmm, ... Ive been pondering since the beginning, the thought of bolting the front bend to the kart. :out: .250" steel plate with a hole cut for the steering goodies on the front of the cart, and another on the rear of the suspension block. (8) bolts total, (2) on each side between the bushings...

Heavy, ... I,m guessing here, but one of the setups I pulled but couldn't find a match was from a corolla and it was about 25-30 pounds. That included the; ... Knuckle, rotor, caliper, pads brake line and the bearing. In other words, I unbolted the tire, strut, stabilizer bar, steering rod, the...

For the sprocket mount, ... I posted what I was going to make with a sketchup drawing here, ... http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showpost.php?p=110122&postcount=198 For the brakes and outer bearing carriers, ... I was thinking, (a dangerous thing for me to do) Of the steering knuckles, slightly...

Awh, ... what it would be like to be 13 again. :innocent: Hell, come to think of it ... I only have about 13 left. :devil2:

Doh! Sounds like I need to trade front ends with Wobbly!

I wanted to know how wide all this was going to be. To my surprise, ... It's not as wide as I thought it would be. From the center of the differential to the hub surface is 24" exactly. So with the full Axle assembly compressed flat, it will measure 48" between the hubs. Cool thing, ... With...

To be honest with you, ... I don't know jack about building a kart, ... But I am learning fast. More or less the differential was by accident. It was offered as a, here, ... take it. The guy was going to toss it and then he mentioned it to me as a possible suggestion during my, IRS...

Yes, the CV Halfshafts will go in either side. The shafts have male ends, the differential has female openings. There are (2) small openings on the flanged side at 180* and (2) more on the other end. The hole is similar to a water pump leak hole but a water pump only has one. I going to put...

Using the parts from the Tercel in my opinion, ARE a great option and very doable for IRS, ... if I can just gather all the parts in front of my face. Off the shelf INEXPENSIVE CV/halfshafts, machine a sprocket mount, weld the spider gears, slightly mod the bearings, and get the knuckles. So...

No, ... Oddly the right is longer than the left, it's usually the other way around. If you are meaning will the CV/Halfshafts go on either the left or right knuckle, ... I don't see why not, ... unless I'm ready for more bad news. :worried2: I bought (2) right (passenger) side CV/Halfshafts.

Seems everyone with a Tercel needs to buy a newer car, ... Another dry run at the junk yard for the steering knuckles! :ack2:

Whoo-Hoo! :cheers2: Just ordered them. Thanks Theo.

It wont make a difference, ... the total width of the two surfaces is smaller than the bearing itself.

Quick answer, ... YES! Your travel will be significantly reduced in my opinion.
