I bought a old go kart frame and the spindles that I see online wouldn't work with the way the frame is setup I have a few pictures but basically the spindle bracket isn't on the frame there's like a tube on each side and I can't find anything telling me what the part is I need to buy I see the emmick frames has the same thing but I can't find any part number for the spindles

Your racekart frame does appear to be one of the older Emmick brand models. Although a lot of racekart company's copied each others designs... Check out the Emmick info & pics at this link and see if you can positively I.D. your model. Then we'll have a better chance of locating the correct spindles that'll not only just fit and bolt on, but also have the correct amount of degree angle to match your frame and maintain it's Ackermann steering geometry (y)

BMI Karts has something close to those spindles for yerf dog. It won't be perfect but if you're just wanting to play around, they're only $25 each. Not sure if they'll work or not but definitely worth checking out.
