They are 1/8" if they bend I'll make heavier ones. There's almost no weight on this cart and it is for kids, I can't even fit in it. I can Tig a couple gussets in after if I see distortion. Have guys had failure there with 1/8"? ---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at...

I put 5deg of caster and about 4deg of camber into each side, sound close?

iPhone. Someone else answered how to do it on one but those choices didn't help me.

Sorry to the guys that see these pictures huge. I cannot seem to resize them from my phone. Progress pics. Was away for work for a while so everything stopped It's light and simple. Sitting on its own wheels I'm surprised at how ridged it is. 40" wheel base. Bought the spindles but built...

Can you guys tell me how to resize pics in photobucket or how to post right from my phone?

I'll figure out how to resize the pics, they look fine to me on my phone I had no idea they were huge. Yes wrong belt. It's not hard to pull the jackshft to change the belt, I can't move it up. Hits the engine, back hits my frame. Hindsight I should have waited for the parts before I welded the...

How much room is needed for belt clearance? It's close, 3/8" from the pulley to the frame. [/URL [URL=http://s1084.photobucket.com/user/Jason_DeLeeuw/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps8x4ormrk.jpeg.html] Keep in mind that's the wrong belt. Critique please

So I found these today at princess auto. And I made some bearing hangers

Ok thanks, no room for that so I've ordered a yellow spring. Thanks guys.

But if I turn it around the fixed shieves are opposite, that can't be right, what am I missing here?

Is that right? So I need what spring to run it the way I have it? Yellow?

No room for a middle one, hits the engine base, or I cut the frame and lengthen it. You can imagine how excited I am about that route. Do they make s more compact pillow block?

Or is this better?

Ok, so I got my 40 series clutch, not sure it's a comet though. Looks like a Chinese knock off. Anyways it was larger than I thought so I need to rethink the jack shaft. I'll add a couple pics, of a mock up. Will this work by putting the sprockets on the left side of the kart?

I made my own last night from the layout in that 420 manual. So it's bolted on right now with zero play, one I get the axle I'll square it up. I squared the jack shaft to the front spindle support( just measured back on each side) and I think I'll keep using that as a reference point. I don't...

How are you guys squaring the engine output shaft to the axle? Any tricks?

Anyone have a drawing of the motor plate bolt spacing? I searched, can't find one. Save me from trying to get accurate with a tape measure....

No suspension. Yeah just around the yard, kid use. Still want it fast and torquey and I want it to steer well. I ordered the axle and steering parts from BMI, just waiting for those. I'm going to get the motor plate in tonight and the alum for the back of the seat frame done. Have to admit I'm...
