I am not too sure if you can buy a scrub brake assembly and just bolt it onto a frame. If you did get, they would be made for specific models of karts.

Post a few pics of you kart so we can see what you have

Hey- welcome to the forum!

The kart you have- did it have scrub brakes to begin with? You probably have a few options here, depending on what you want to accomplish. Frankly, scrub brakes are at the bottom of the food chain. Yes, they've been known to work. But if you have a chouice- and it sounds like you do- this could be the ideal excuse to upgrade.

I would just go with BMI. They usually have good prices. Whatever you get is going to require some fabrication anyway
