are parts available?

[FoxPhantom]

Hey everybody, I hope you can help. I have an 04 Manco Fox Phantom model 710E-29 cart with a Robin 265cc, 10hp torque converter drive. It ran great until my son hit a pole and now I need swing arms, tie rods, spindles, etc. I can't find parts anywhere. With all of the DIY knowledge here, are there parts that are interchangeable with different carts or a hidden cache of Manco parts! Also, this has the old mechanical brake system and I would love suggestions to convert to hydraulic.

Thanks in advance
Chris

Download the free manual. Then Google your part numbers you need. Only way to find older parts.

Thanks,
I failed to mention that I do have the manual and part numbers and I have searched for part no. and it seems that I can find parts for so many karts except for the one I have. I can find the parts I don't need though.. belts and torque converters. I'll keep looking.

Thanks,

Just bought one myself. Seems to be in pretty good shape. Fuel tank has a whole which I'm going to attempt to fix. Because of the price and availability. Also wanted to know how to get the manual without having to purchase. All I really know is it have a robin subaru 10hp 2 seater. Thanks

My kid (it was actually me haha think about how many times you hear "my kids go kart" on this site) got it a little bender the bent the spindles when the 212cc throttle stuck in the early testing period of my project. I took out the old propane torch, stuck them in a vise, heated them map gas real good and wacked them straight as new. A little paint and they look as good as new.

Spindles and tie rods should be no problem.
As you mentioned Old go karts use a lot of generic parts. I use google images to get a visual. With my limited experience with go karts (and my extensive experience with other fixing) ometimes it is faster and easier to "play legos".

Go to ebay or MFG go karts. They have good prices and 6.99 unlimited shipping.
Sometimes it is hard for junior members to get advice on ths board because some senior members are very brief with their answers some are down right condsending.

I am new to go karts but I have 50 years experience creatively solving a magnitude of problems (a lot of farmers in my DNA). Go karting is awesome for problem solvers.
