    How do I place my suspension for a rear swing arm setup?

    Can't get much more authoritative than that, plus it reinforces much of what we can plainly observe. The real trick is possessing the attention span to read it! 😄 Aside from all that, the angle of the shock can supply some desired effects, depending on what you are after.

    Clean strip paint stripper

    There was a Goof-Off aerosol stripper that was on the market very briefly and disappeared, but I liked it. Seems a lot come and go but the bestest, goodest stuff and how it’s made makes me think of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster Disclaimer: it’s India but still…🤯 I feel...

    Back to the original query: I think the answer is simple, buy either one of these in nein milluh-metuh and carry on contented. No need to reinvent the wheel. Problem is, we all like the new and flashy, the different, the trendy. We are image conscious just like the womenfolk…

    In a pickle

    ☝️He is right. The clutch may move but it nor the wheel/hub/sprocket/brake assembly will come off with the chain still attached….unless you slide them both off simultaneously (and that’s a feat in and of itself). Anyways. Removing the chain is the first thing you do.

    Show us the hub. The kart has strong Manco vibes with the cast rims.

    In a pickle

    I've actually refurbished clutches and chains that were that unsightly. Clutch still worked but it was rusty (and ugly, boo-hoo!). Chain responded well to some quality time with a cup shaped wire wheel on an angle grinder. Ran the wheel all over the side plates and spun the rollers getting all...

    The Dagger exchanges fire control parts, barrel and slide with a Glock 19 as far as I know, but the Dagger frame is configured differently and has more of a "palm swell" and a slimmer profile. It's also designed to fit lower in the hand (link below shows the low cut at the base of the trigger...

    Didn't care for Glock prices and perhaps the Glock "philosophy". Glad to see the patent has expired and the resultant explosion of Glock clones. On the price aversion the way I see it is, Glock is supposed to be the AK of pistols and I think the concept is, definitely. See you have an easily...

    I like how this thread derailed into a free-for-all 🔫 thread. Sorry Grizz, I tried to help. 😁 Sure. Got a Dagger Compact. Bought in two assemblies on a July 4th sale; the pew pew part and the slide/barrel assy. I'm using Glock mags in it. Great quality.

    Clean strip paint stripper

    Looks like a Ken-Bar seat frame. What’s the brand name and or can you show us the product?

    In a pickle

    Of course try a hex driver in the female socket, it looked like it was mangled a bit and wouldn’t work anymore but it may still have enough “purchase” to turn the screw. Remember righty-tighty, lefty-loosey

    In a pickle

    The thingamabob holding the clutch onto the shaft looks like a non-standard thick washer and a “nut with a female hex socket” on the end? No female parts should be on any kart! Just manly male parts! 😂 Liquid Wrench, WD40 and the like should be doused over those parts to assist disassembly. It...

    Are these all sub-compact cordless hole punchers that you guys are sharing, in keeping with Grizzly’s stated desire in post #1? I’m afraid I’m gonna need pictures instead of just names, so if not your very own (blur the seial number if you don’t want to doxx your own gun) then a photo from the...

    Yerf Dog tie rod problems

    I would prefer a piece of thin wall tubing as a spacer between the two tie rod ends, instead of stacked washers. This tubing would be a short piece 1/2” long perhaps, that fits the outside diameter of the bolt. Then the tube will anchor the inner ball (its a ball and socket joint) so the outer...

    Trying to use dirt bike wheels on a live axle

    If the original design was all wood with minor (metal) reinforcement, I say go for it in keeping with the old world style. How did they keep Conestoga, buckboard and covered wagons together in the Old West era? The “roads” then were rocky rutted trails and some rather smoothed out ruts and...

    Silver Streak - Bird Engineering 1979-80?

    That was a hint for you to take photos of your kart. 😉 English, it’s like my second language but I am fluent in Neanderthal LOL. Drag it out into the sunlight and some fresh spring grass and snap away. 📷 At first glance I thought it was generally intact so I felt some photo documentation was in...

    Trying to use dirt bike wheels on a live axle

    I’m aware of the B&S Flyer; an early attempt at an affordable kart-like car if memory serves. Sounds like a lot of customization and “making it work“ is in order. It’ll be fine. I think the low-friction, round profile, skinny bike tires in conjunction with their typically tiny contact patches...
