ferio 1st and custom shifter kart build!!

[OzFab]

Wait, what? Are you saying the two verticals are welded? (See red circles in pic below)

 

[ferio]

Yes,it is welded there.

 

[OzFab]

I'm not doubting you but, that doesn't seem right, a PO must have welded it...

 

[ferio]

Lol its strange to me also. Whatever though lol

 

[ferio]

So somethings have come up, and the project will be on hold for hopefully, not too long.. Keep the thread open modsss!!

 

[OzFab]

Threads automatically close after 6 months of inactivity; as long as you post within that time, the thread will stay open...

In the event that it is inactive for more than 6 months, simply PM myself or another mod & we will unlock it; once unlocked, a locked thread will relock after 24 hours of inactivity...

Ok thanks for the info mod. I will still try doing some stuff, but no new parts will be ordered for a while. Im now trying to find how to install the seat. I have 2 struts. Do they go on the sides of the seat, then the ones in front will bolt under the seat?

I still have to dremel the sprocket lol.

 

[OzFab]

There should be two lugs on the mid crossmember but, there isn't...

 

[ferio]

So what should i do?lol

 

[OzFab]

Create & add some...

 

[ferio]

Well i cant just create some. I think ill get more of the same seat struts for the front.

 

[landuse]

Just make some. I think that is what Tony is saying

 

[ferio]

Not sure if im able to make some though..

 

[OzFab]

It's relatively simple, either a couple of pieces of flat stock with a hole drilled in them )or a round tube with the ends flattened) & welded in the correct positions...

 

[ferio]

Alright, but how would i mount it to the body of the kart?whats the proper process of installing a seat anyway? What to avoid?

 

[ferio]

Just wanted to let you folks know, the build will recontinue in a months time!!

 

[ferio]

Soooo im getting the sawzall tomorrow to cut part of the front bumper so ill have room for the pedals. Im trying to think if i put a washer between the pedals, itl still allow pedal movement..?

I would just get an angle grinder and you can use it for way........ more things. BTW that is a really nice kart. Those back wheels are stanced. And I love shifter karts.

 

[ferio]

Well my mom has a sawzall and im just borrowing it lol. The front guard is the only thing that needs cutting as of now. And thanks man! Yea i love how wide they are. Sucks i have to get another set as it dont hold air for more than a day or something. Theyre expensive as ****!

 

[Lucky7]

Oh I thought you were going to buy one then just use that.
