No you can't...... NT discontinued all their kart parts late summer.

Can't you just bend the tie rod straight?

The people @ NT, & my experience....... they no longer stock anything in the stores. There are a few items in the catalog, but nothing like they used to carry.

My understanding is that Northern still sells Kart parts, they just don't carry them in store.

 

[bshinn]

Look in their catalog..........they have a few but it's next to nothing. Used to be you could walk into the store & build a Kart. Not any more. Better off giving your business to BMI, Comet, or American Power Sports. If you have to order parts might as well give your business to someone who supports the Sport/Hobby!

I can straighten it out.Now for the tires I have two extra hubs from my race kart &a few extra tires I was thinking about the staggered look for it & a bit of a hot rod look.Will the hubs fit or do I have to change my axle??

I also heard that NT was discontinuing their kart products.

I love your karts, and they were a steal for $30

Most of the stuff they carried were rebranded Azusa Engineering products, & their whole catalog is still available. They don't have a very good website, but if you give them a call they are eager to help.

Ok I will call around 9 & see what happens. I had to tell my nephew father the HF wheels are no good thanks for that DIY Now it's on to more paint & sanding until I get the motors.....

I called the store in Raleigh NC & they still had everything in stock & more. So I guess it will be a quick run to the store. I wish I could do this for all my karts I hate waiting on shipping!!!!

I went to the store & they had nothing!!!! Somewhat of a waste of time but up the road was a tractor supply. With terrible service I found what I needed all but clutch & they come in Thursday after Xmas.

I just picked up a Predator for one of my karts HF took the coupon off the phone.So now I will be finish with the two seater by Saturday if E-85 works for my Briggs I will be done with both karts.

So after a good breakfast of Chicken & Pancakes. Jr & I got started. We got the kart rolling then we mounted the motor (I took the Predator back thinking it was too big but it wasn't. However I came up with more motors. Now it's an alky on Jr's kart that I have the jet to make it gas but we'll do that later. Now all we have to do is cut the chain & some red trimming here & there.I know pictures but phone is jacked I do have a picture of him on it but it not the motor we used. I will get more pictures in the album. Thanks for the welcome u all gave my son.He's hyped just to talk to everyone especially overseas. Thanks again everyone!!

I thought peanut butter and bacon sandwiches sounded kind of nauseating. Not bad, actually!
