Poboy's 2016-17-18-19.....??? build off entry

[Poboy kartman]

All in good time...just did a quick check with dial calipers and a second tube is right on....the third is going to need adjustment...as it's a sixteenth too proud.

After those 3 are tacked...the other 3 will be gravy.

Darn precision measurements. So important though.
I am curious what the Po' Boy has to offer on his build.

 

[Poboy kartman]

I got the first tube tacked and used a telescoping guage to get the sprocket perfectly parallel to the rim all the way around.

Now I can tack the other two tubes.

Soooo....All of the thread sticking up should make more sense now.

The first pic shows 3 tubes tacked...not pretty, but they don't have to be....they just need to work.

The second pic shows the big bolt which centers the sprocket.

And the third shows how the all-thread adjusted the sprocket parallel to the hub.

Now the tacked tubes keep the sprocket parallel so the other 3 tubes can be tacked.

It will take another set-up to weld the other side.

 

[chancer]

More pics please.

 

[Poboy kartman]

OK...So here's the set-up to weld the other side. I can only weld one tube at a time....( the one with the small all-thread) as I have to run a drill bit through after welding to get the 3/8" bolts to slide through. If I were to weld at the 3/8" bolts...they would likely get stuck and have to be hammered out.

Meanwhile....I want the other 5 holes filled with the 3/8" bolts to keep everything centered as possible.

How do you add Brakes to this?

 

[Kartorbust]

Thought his plan was a scrub brake?

Oh sure point out the Obvious! Sorry I forgot!

 

[Poboy kartman]

Well the drive wheel is welded up...but it still needs some work.

Then I can start on the frame modifications to fit it.

Let me help explain... A lot of people don't know what "scrub" brakes are.
They are different than regular brakes. Explain to the masses of people.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Why don't you explain to the masses something you know about...like short busses....special ed...and Gilmore family trees that only have trunks???

 

[Kartorbust]

Let's not get special ed involved...I still have a large bone to pick with my former school district.

So it looks like dead axle for your kart? You think those HF wheels will hold up to all your modifications?

I finally got some rear tires and they are setup for dead axle. but i really want live axle for mine. Maybe i just give up and follow the poboy way.

p.s. i see your friend is back

Yeah...this is a real Poboy build...so poor I can only afford two wheels for this "kart"...
