Can anyone help me Id this manco go kart and how i can hook up some brakes to it and what type to use .Merry Christmas all an thank you for any time you can spare to help me with this .
no idea on cart model, but could you put a band brake on cc?
I cant find scrub brakes on ebay ?
Just gotta bend and weld your own setup
The he77 you say.....DIY?????? Who'd a thunk it?????
What size band brake do you know i should get ? .Thank you so much for your help let me take a look for the model the sticker for the warning is under the seat i believe but let me take a look to know for surethat's a 715 I'd say
looks just like the one rotting in my back yard (where I wanted to strip it down this summer... and now after some rain.... hehe)
and the one Jim sold a while ago.
Anyways, I'd say it's a 713 / 715 (depends on what engine was mounted originally)
and it was a Indy body kart... coincidence??
I'm nearly sure the Manco sticker is still under the seat's front edge on the floorpan
just like this 713 for example
and no.. mine doesn't have seat rails either... never had
[EDIT]
Oh yes brakes..
the drum goes on the opposite side to the wheel
(attached to the same hub with the same bolts as the sprocket)
the band wraps around and attaches to a pin you seem to be missing...
maybe you can see it on my pic here
View attachment 47445
or here:
View attachment 47630
(that's a different kart, but the same manco wheel )
here's mine with a tube testfit (to see what length I need... ah well that worked out, didn't it )

And here's the pin I talked about:

'sid
Any....4" is sufficient.....bigger is better....naturally....
Your right good eye.If i space the tire out a little more do i need to move either my clutch a little farther off the shaft or the engine over ? The last set of band brakes i seen there was a plate that had two slits in it welded to the frame each end of the band went into and the cable went through the holes so the band would not move .Is everything in the kit included in the kit i wantIts an older indy frame thats had the scrub brakes cut off. You can still see the tabs that havnt been ground off. You can make new scrub brakes which is easy or you can space the drive wheel out and put on a brake band, either isn't too difficult.
