Murray Kilowatt front Disc brake install advise

Been looking at this setup

Figure with a butterfly wheel and shortening the tube the steering knuckle goes though it might be a pretty easy setup and of course some 110mm bolt circle 8"rim's, anyone did this or gone a different route would love to hear from anyone before I start something like this.
Thanks
Bobby

Don’t know of anyone here doing before.

Thanks, saw a picture of it done to a kilowatt and was hoping to pick some brains about it lol.

Be the first and explain how you did it!

Looks a lot like the setup on my Kandi Kart. I can probably post some pictures tomorrow if that helps.

Thanks MWKarter that would be very helpfull, trying to make sure of the rim size needed for the calibers to clear when mounted, if I decide to do this I'll take pictures of the process for everyone to follow.

 

[MWKarter]

Probably will not help you much, because mine has rack and pinion steering and the same 130 mm diameter disks with 8 inch rims. And yes, M10 studs 4 places on 110 mm B.C. Let me know if pics or measurements will help.

 

[Gilbos440rt]

Just knowing a 130 mm rotor and caliber fits inside 8” rim is a great help!
Thanks!

Pulled the trigger on the disc brake kit, a master cylinder for the foot brake and a 18” hose with banjo ends, it begins lol!
Thanks again MWKarter for the rim od info!

 

[MWKarter]

You are welcome. Looks like basically the same setup as on the Kandi kart. I took a lot of other pictures, but did not know if you really needed them. Except, mine has a three way fitting to power the rear disk also. No proportioning valve, but then we pretty much just run it on our backyard dirt track for now. I like copper crush washers for banjo’s.

Plan on keeping the manual disc brake on the rear and put the master cylinder so it ties into the brake pedal and try and adjust it that way for the best braking. Putting a 440 cc duromax on the kart so figured better brakes would be wise. I’m part of a bunch of gray beards buying and building karts to play on a buddies 1/2 mile track he’s building thru the fields and woods (think camera’s and cars on utube) on his farm, second childhood lol, thanks for the help brother!

Sounds like fun! The Grandkids are in competition with me. Be safe.
