Hi, Jeff!
You might be able to find the thread using our "search" feature. I think I remember the one you're referring to, but who and when- you've got me...

Yeah I remember that thread too, but I couldn't find it. I think that dude was from down under/Oz.
Personally I'd just try to install some quad type tires that are just 3" or 4" taller and re-gear it.
If you mod//brace a race kart frame much you'll screw up how its designed to flex and end up with a turd that would never turn and handle as well as before. That'd be kinda like trying to mod an Indy car to race the Baja 1000.
