Most karts use grade 5 bolts. Buy yourself a drill block so you can put it togehter right the first time with cotter keys.

Where does one purchase a drill block ! Hate to sound like a newbie, but I am having to buy every tool as I need it. They are all gone from the 70's and 80's when I did this. I actually had to go and buy a socket to get the lock nuts off the front spindles ! LOL
