We're designing a fresh kart. We're looking for rear steer spindles, 7 to 9 degrees kingpin inclination. We'll use 12 degrees of caster. ) to 1 degree negative camber. We need the chassis hangers for these. Need quality parts, 5/8" axles, long enough for Series I, 5" Go Power wheels, and drilled for...

Re: Starter for MAC93 pulley
Scott, you CAN start a '91 with a recoil starter, but it can really be a chore. There are often electric belt starters on eBay and other forums. Either a hand held, or the more common one with starter and battery on a two wheeled cart BE SURE THE ROTATION IS CORRECT for your engine!! The better way ...

Re: Remember getting to the track this way?
Dean, we only drove a kart in a wagon one time. My '58 Bug dead axle in Mom's '57 Plymouth wagon from our place in West Melbourne, FL, to the old Tico airport South of Titusville. About 50 miles each way. We got there, drove the kart maybe ten minutes and got a flat rear tire. My Bud, Jerry and I pu...

Re: Don Axe
Thanks, Bud! Appreciate it. Ted Furtch is cleaning up a nice Bug Sprint for his wife, Cheryl, whom you've met. He may get Don to make him an axle. Ted

Re: Kart info request
It's a Dart for sure, most likely an A Bone, though Rupp built a number of lower production similar karts. I'm guessing 61 to 64. Somewhere along about 65, Rupp went to a narrow hoop on the A Bone. Maybe someone knows more. I've never owned a Rupp, though I raced alongside a lot of them in the early...

Re: free roller bearings
Larry, Pruit managed to find a couple light seats in Vegas, and I got a Longacre aluminum steering wheel from Speedway. It's got wider spokes than most vintage wheels, but it is light. TWO DAYS from Speedway! I remember getting out the seals so we could lube the bearings ourselves. Most you-lube bea...

Re: free roller bearings
Michael, Pruit and I are just having fun. We decided to build a featherweight kart just for the fun of it. If bearings cost a few dollars more, it's O.K. As a mechanical D.E., I'm doing an exercise. Ted
