Trying to figure out what kind of spindle set up this is???

[abarnier]

I have searched and searched for what kind of set up these spindles are for and can not even find parts for it either. I threw in a pic of the kart as well if it helps narrow down what manufacturer made this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Are you seeking replacement spindles (because I only see one)?

They don't seem to be anything special or easily identified. They look generic enough.
Nicely robust too. They could be easily replicated by a decent fabrication shop. Oh, and...

..to the forum, newbie!

That is a strange set up. Tear it all apart and show us the pieces.

Looks like a home brew set up for the spindles.

The spindles look a lot like Manco yard kart spindles.

The spindles look a lot like Manco yard kart spindles.

Whats up with that weird ?adjusting nut? on top of the spindle bolt?

and those rubber boots. Weird stuff.

Nope, not Manco home built.

I'm with Jay..
it looks like Manco to me as well

for comparision here's a manco spindle


ANYWAYS we can at least agree that this spindle does NOT belong onto a racing kart like that.

it's geometry is likely off by a few miles and yard kart design isn't original at all either

So get a matching set of racing spindles on CL or ebay that fir your spindle brackets..
As a guess:
these should fit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GO-KART-SPINDLES-/201580447565

Thanks for the input. This helps a lot.

The ones in that link are metric, and appear to be sold without the Bearings they are designed to accept. Metric is fine you would just need a metric bolt for proper operation.

Manco spindle.

And yes, I know the stub is longer.
They made them in different lengths.
