    Framing questions!!!

    Honestly I think you would spend the same amount in wood and make it heavier. Talk to the school shop teacher.

    TC belt?

    I picked up a Yerf Dog this weekend because it seemed like a good deal. $350 with a new 6.5 Tecumseh. It needs a new torque converter belt and I was wondering if car belts would work the same or not? Also I can find the one I need for around $35 but is there other belts that work just the same...

    Selecting Part's?

    Ahh thank you, I'm glad I asked before buying. :) Here's another Q. I see this - http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200322170_200322170 on ebay for around $60 which is really cheap. Is there something else needed to make it work other than a belt? I assume...

    Harbor Freight MIG welder

    As long as you get a double pole 30 amp 220 breaker & 10awg wire you will be good. Tell the hardware store that's what you have and they can show you what you will need for a socket and plug. If you dont know much about this stuff (running electric) then ask a buddy to come along and help you...

    Harbor Freight MIG welder

    lol yea I did'nt like the mask that came with it. I bought a $50 auto dim mask that is great. The welder comes with flux core wire but I personally like using gas w/solid wire. I have never done aluminum before and was told you need a machine that will pulse the current. Not sure if this 1...

    Harbor Freight MIG welder

    I own a Chicago Electric MIG welder for a few years now and its done a great job on my 27' T-Bucket frame. I think its model 151 not sure though. I had to run a 220 line for it which set me back about $75, no biggie.

    Notching Tube ideas

    I was picturing something like this - With the bench grinder in front of me. Hold the pipe to it till the curve is made. If there was a disk wide enough and rounded it would make life easy. (till the disk wore down) :)

    Notching Tube ideas

    Thank You for the responses! I will be going on with the free pipe/tube what ever you want to call it. Does anyone have a cheap solution to notching the pipe without buying a notcher? I guess I could use my angle grinder but that will get old very quick. Hmm maybe a round disk on the...

    Frame Materials?

    I wasn't even thinking about it being galvanized, that's no good! Is that just a coating that could be sanded off where I need to weld or is it actually in the metal? I know the steel prices have gone up quite a bit in the past few years, just didn't think it was this much either. I saw...

    Frame Materials?

    So yesterday I was shopping for 1 1/4" square tubing so I could start my kart frame. 1 supplier has 11awg that was going to cost me $77 for 30ft. :eek: Then I went to the local Home Depot and they had 1" 1/16th thick for $13 a 6ft section. (seemed a bit weak) None of the scrap yards had...

    To build or To Buy.

    http://www.diygokarts.com/kart-parts/go-kart-drive-axle.html See the only reason I thought about going this route is I will have it on the road 75% & grass field 25%. So I figure if I put the suspension on the front it would help with the brain boucing in my head. lol Plus I know I'll still...

    To build or To Buy.

    I remember reading that if you have a live axle you need the inner tire to lift so to speak. If I only put suspension on the front will this due the job?
