Re: wanted: mcculloch oem gas tank

Re: Be Very Careful

I don't know if it's just luck, but I've bought things from Bob for many years and I have never gotten a bad part.

GK1200 spindles

I recently bought a GK1200 frame in reasonably good shape, but I need to build spindles since it didn't come with any. The front axle has some slight bends, so I can't trust measuring it in its current condition. I have the Karting World test article, but the info it has for the front end is complet...

Re: Need Grant (Giant) metalflake steering wheel

Unfortunately no one is producing this steering wheel. The Azusa steering wheel is closer in appearance than any currently available part, but I want to use the correct one. I'm willing to put off the completion of this project until I can obtain the Grant steering wheel even though I know it would ...
