Dominic...
What McCulloch is the engine on the left side of the kart?
It has the spark plug cover that is yellow and it attaches to the spark plug.
I have one of those covers and it is just hanging on the peg board.
Want it???
Let me know... ;)

Say, Dominic, what black finish are you using on the steering shaft, tie rods and control rods for the Caretta? I used black zinc plating on my Van Tech, but the black component wore off the pedals from my shoes in ten minutes. Any suggestions? Thanks. Ted

The steering wheel has the original wrapped tape. There is no chrome and so few parts I just cleaned them up with an SOS pad and repeat when needed. The wheels are not the ones for it. I have the steel wheels exactly like the ones on the very first Caretta. If you notice this Caretta has leg room.
