Hello everyone this year I started my first build and I have picked to build the arachnid from spidercarts.com. I started building my kart early jan and I have it almost all welded but the one thing the plans don't really specify is what the TL bushing are exactly and where can I buy them they do say in the plans 1-2 TL Bushings (1'Diameter, 2"Length and takes a 5/8 bolt). I am very new to kart build any help with this part would be much appreciated.

I didn't have success finding those either. This is one (of multiple) spec's that is lacking detail.

Just make the bolt (in my case 1/2") match the tubing I.D. You won't have much success with ordinary hardware stuff. Any bolt that fits inside of pipe or steel tubing won't fit well and will rattle and move a bunch.

I was able to find DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing from Online Metal Shorts with the exact spec. A 1/2" bolt sleeves right inside with no discernible movement.

Online Metal Resources is slick. I ordered one evening and it was available for pickup the next morning but only because they have a warehouse here in Seattle that was waiting at will call.

Assuming you're not near a warehouse, you'd have to have it shipped to you
