    CV axle shafts?

    Odd question. I am building a mini crosskart for my kid out of some Chinese 4-wheeler parts and the carcass of an old Manco Dingo. I have the front suspension more or less sorted. I have the tubing for fabbing the additional frame bits. My issue is the IRS. I have a pair of Miata CV axles...
