Building first Kart

[davemosley70]

Hello
Building my first go kart, a Kavalla, it is coming along great. Looking for some info about the brake, has a disc, mechanical art deco looking. Was wondering if anyone understands or has a clear photo of how it works and the set up.

Rebuilding, you mean? Or are you building a replica? Tell us more.
Have seen some art deco looking brakes...

This brake caliper is what I think of as art deco:

Brakes (H&H Go Kart Brake)

Would anyone happen to know what brand of brakes these are? I’d like to keep my same setup here, but can’t seem to find these brakes anywhere. As you can see in the pictures my pads are pretty worn so it’s time to replace. Thanks in advance!

Welcome.

Show us what you got.
All the kavalla karts I see are band brake.
Pretty cool looking kart.

If you had shared that photo first, I would have known immediately that it’s an H-H or Hayes. Does yours in fact have “H-H” on it? It looks slightly different from the one in the thread I linked. I’m not discounting the possibility of knock-offs...

I think the forum would appreciate seeing how it works or what the other side looks like. Info is info and these are rare.

i need to look for the H H stamp on it, i will take some more photos when i get home and see if i can video it to show how it works.
