Yep....anything is possible....but why?

Edit: Is it giving you problems? I mean....I'm curious now...."if it ain't broke...don't fix it it" and if you want to change it....why are you looking for a direct replacement?

Were not picking on you...just trying to get you to tell us what's going on.....(you haven't given enough info),,.....

 

[david34]

because i want to use these rims http://www.kartpartsdepot.com/5_Douglas_Metric_Bolt_Pattern_Wheels_Black_p/sm-dw5b.htm i like them better

 

[crazykart]

Changing the gear ration isnt that hard, I'm changing the ratio on my kids kart actually, going from a 60t axle sprocket to a 72t.

As far as finding a dual flange hub to fit a 3 bolt pattern.... i've never seen or heard of one myself. Thise rims are for race karts, they use race hubs, and as far as I know (but idk much about race karts) they all use live axles...

Edit: i think I remember seeing an adapter for 3 bolt to 4 bolt before but idk

 

[david34]

ok thanks what about these is there anything i can do with these http://www.bmikarts.com/5-Split-Rim-2-1316-Bolt-Pattern_p_1572.html

 

[crazykart]

Yes there is, find a dual flanged hub to fit the bolt circle, and fit your 5/8 axle, and a sprocket to fit the other side of the hub...

 

[david34]

this is what my axle looks like i think if i use the hub then the sprocket wont be close to the clutch

 

[crazykart]

I see nothing...

How long is the axle stub?

 

[david34]

oh sorry here it is i didnt upload it right

 

[crazykart]

You know you can flip your clutch around if need be right?

 

[david34]

yes i knew that but im saying i think the sprocket will be too far away from the crankshaft

 

[crazykart]

Ah I see now, looking at it on a phone.

I dint think youll have a problem, looks like it should line up, or at most only be a tiny bit off, which you can soace the clutch out a bit more.

If youre really worried then dint change anything. Youre going to run into problems, and will have to make adjustments. If youre not comfortable doing so, then leave it.

Post a shot up in line from the back of the kart

 

[david34]

this is with the clutch almost half way off

 

[crazykart]

Not possible to move the engine over?

I cant remember, but I do believe you can cut off the dead axle, shorten it, and weld back on. Dont quote me on that!
Wait for someone else to chime in as even if so its more difficult then just cut and weld.

 

[david34]

i cant move it unless i make new holes

 

[crazykart]

Ya, dont hack at your engine plate yet. Wait for someine else to chime in, they will. There are more ideas to be had still.

 

[david34]

what if i use a wheel like this http://www.harborfreight.com/10-inch-pneumatic-tire-30900.html and used this http://www.bmikarts.com/Double-Flan...2-1316-Circle-Includes-58-Bearing_p_1651.html without bearings and it might fit over the axle

 

[crazykart]

NO!

Never use harbor freight wheels!

 

[david34]

no i wasnt i just pulled the up for an example but would that work with a different wheel

 

[crazykart]

It would only fit over the 5/8 stub of the axle, so idts.

Gives me an idea though.

Either way you need the double flanged hub (second linj you posted)

You may be able to get longer grade 8 bolts/nuts, use a spacer between the hub and sprocket.

Excuse the crude drawing. The hub would end at the end of the 5/8 part of the stub. The spacer would go over the bigger part of the stub, and the bolts would span the distance from the sprocket to the hub.

It may work but idk.

Fabro and Landy will be on soon, wait for what they say.
