Hey guys,
As some of you may know at this point, i am rebuilding a '60 Go Kart 800 with a Mac MC-49 2 stroke on it. the brakes on it are currently the original drums, which work great and deliver great performance, but upon looking on Azusa's site, they not only sell an identical drum assembly, but they also sell the assembly to the original disc brakes, which my kart should have had/ did have (previously to the drums). This lead me to wonder, should i buy new shoes for the current drums it has on it, or should i drop an extra ~$50 and buy the disc assembly for it? i'll post links to both the new drums and the discs below if you want to check them out.
