2016 - My go kart rebuild

[David Ham]

I had some time off studying today and got to work on this.

Dude, that front suspension looks really kool & "extra" heavy duty!

I can see you put a lot of work into it.

You ever figure what kinda weight that's gonna add "to the front"?

Yes it is
It might add two or three kilos

 

[David Ham]

I now have a much more substantial suspension setup at the front:
and I am finally happy with how straight the brake disc runs so I have started setting up the brake calliper:
The mount on the brake calliper was too big so I plasma cut it with the helps of a mates plasma cutter

 

[David Ham]

Got the brake caliper mounted finally so hopefully tomorrow I can mount the engine, chain and wheels again.

 

[David Ham]

Got the rear end put back together and am experimenting with some thread locking compound.

 

[David Ham]

So the brakes are linked up, and I made a bull/roobar although I'm not planning on hitting either.

I'm going to buy some things tommorow to finish the steering up and then I can test it again

 

[David Ham]

So I bought some rose bearings, and some bolts for the suspension.

And finished the steering setup

 

[David Ham]

yay

Just a few more tweaks and it'll be ready to go
It's looking even more beast than it did before!

 

[David Ham]

Just want some threadlock or loctite or something before I give it a proper run but it's done for now.

 

[David Ham]

So I took it for a quick test run and then put loctite on everything
