Hi guys,

i'm replacing front axles and have made my level table and jigs to hold the frames straight.
i've bought both the axles and am ready to slice and dice.
i know that the bugs are 15 degrees as i checked the existing axle on the good side.
all the rupps i have are damaged in one way or another and i can't trust measuring them.
for now i need the degree that the axles layback on a older rupp kart.
if the rupps are all the same let me know that too.
thanx ahead
Dave

p.s.
when i get a minute i'll post the dave easy jigs for front axle replacements somewhere or another.
BTW Jeff, weren't you gonna start a project area on one of the forums?
if so i also have pix from the the (5) GK800'S build so far, theMC10 build from saw motors the BUG and the RUPP projects . let me know where to send pix

Hi Dave. Just curious: did you ask Robert Stanton (Robron)? I've never asked him a question quite as specific as yours, but he has always been very helpful when I've called. I'll bet that you have his number already, but just in case: 1-800-624-7383. Take care, Doug.

WOW,

THANX
a big Duh for me there i guess.
and a true senior moment .
yep i guess i'll just call the fellow that made the front axle i bought for the Rupp.
please to excuse me now while i go soak my stupid head!!

I hate that when it happens....

Dave-
I just looked up the Dart Super K Review from the 1960 Karting World. Here are the specs it gives for the Kart:
Caster: 6 degrees
Camber: 0 degrees
Toe In: 1/16"
King Pin Inclination: 9 degrees

thanx Dan,

i did try robron today.
but as usual the robron phone rings and rings.
that's what happens in one man shops.
