If the Ackerman is off ill just use some flat stock welded or bolted to the new spindles..not a big deal

Wouldnt matter if i went to a smaller axle. theres only 3 mounting holes on the frame.And ya..the kingpin hole is 3/4. The tie rods i have dont adjst out to that much.They are about an inch short.

Got my first order of parts in! pretty happy with what I got although i did find out some problems 1.New bearing cassete mounting holes dont match the frame. So since the old cassette had both patterns im just gonna bolt it on and then use to holes as a guide to drill out holes for the new...

I didnt mean mount it TO the seat. Theres a little groove along the bottom of the tank that fits perfectly with the very back bar of the chassis. Im thinking sitting it on there and then using the old seat struts to hold up the other side.

Ill probably mount it higher than the engine (probly on some kind of mount behind the seat) . But if i dont like how that looks or works ill just get a walbro fuel pump and a pulse fitting like u mentioned cuz ive seen those as well.

Well our riding lawnmower shattered both connecting rods..so now i have a free gas tank to use on my kart!

Got my nuts,bolts,and washers in for the floor panels! Think they look pretty good. Also got my spacers for my spindles.Kart parts i ordered should be here tomorrow or the day after!

So I took what i consider to be the actual plunge into what it takes to get this thing moving.Just ordered everything I need to make it a rolling chassis minus tires.That will be next once i save up the 220 its gonna cost me in tires lol.

I have those same ones to hold on my bearings and sprocket hub

Something like this is what i meant. I really like the way these look and i think it looks smoother with these holding the floor pans on instead of just a regular bolt and nut.

I'll post pix of what I meant when I get home.unfortunately I have to use 1/4-28 screws or bolts because someone decided to thread a couple of the mounting tabs and I'd rather they all match thread wise. ---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------...

Well I got it all painted up.Wanted to bolt the floor pans on but I can find the right threaded socket caps at Lowes or Home Depot so I've got to order those. Cant decide if i want to hide the floor mounting tabs or have the floor pans mounted UNDER the tabs. Originally the front panel was under...

Just around the yard and on some asphalt.Purely for fun. No racing or anything competitive.

I meant a spacer I could put inside the kingpin hole on the spindle itself and make it 3/8 instead if 5/8.my apologies

I just realized something.I was about to order spindles with a 5/8 kingpin but the holes on the mounting bracket are only 3/8. Should I get spindles that use 3/8 kingpin or should i just get a spacer for each mounting hole that takes it from 5/8 to 3/8? s

First Kart Build would be fine! Thanks.

It finally stopped raining! So I was able to get the first coat of paint onto the bottom side of the cart and as much of the sides as i could last night .Gonna let it sit till noon or so then flip it over and paint the top! Lemme know what yall think of the green.

Looks like that Californian's looking pretty darn nifty to me...

i found that a digital caliper will help you find out every measuremeant you really need to know on a kart. I just got mine about 2 weeks ago and all ive done is go between the kart with the caliper and the laptop to make sure i got the right part saved to my parts list lol

Probably not the best thing to do but oh well i couldnt help myself. Sprayed a small test area on my kart to see if i would like the color i picked. Its gonna look awesome!Btw if anyone knows how I can just change the name of this thread since all it has done is pretty much become a thread about...
