Pitbike juice kits can be had pretty cheap on EvilBay. An alternate option is a wrecking yard. Depends on your skills and available tools.

you need more of a description, like what size axle, how fast does your kart go, whats yours budget. if your budget is around 100-200$and supposing you have a 1¼ inch axle, a great kit is http://www.ebay.com/itm/MCP-Hydraul...pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item3378c2f999&vxp=mtr this should be great.

I did have a detail description at first,but my phone crashed on me when I went to submit it. I was looking to keep it under a 100$, I got a one inch axle, plan on using 18 or 20 inch tires, 11hp engine with torque converter. Thanks

I think the fluid of the cylinder is not enough so I don't think it would work because if you have 2 calibers it would need twice the fluid that 1 needs so you would need a bigger cylinder to push more fluid. I don't know how much that cylinder holds so you might want to check and see how far you will have to push the pedal to close both calibers.

You had me going for a bit there, your replying to the question on the video.a member posted that in here so I can see the brake setup, to reply to it you'll have to log into you tube. Thanks

that kit is fine, that caliper is a 2 piston, one on each side, there very strong calipers, most 200cc atvs run about 10hp and they stop fine,
