Info on Dart Chparral rear axle wanted

Post by allan savins » Sun Dec 14, 2008 7:14 am

Hi,
I require the dimensions of the rear axle for Dart Chaparral, length tip to tip and length of the 1 inch diameter portion only... I wish to confirm the axle I have is correct.
Thanks,
Allan

Single or dual? They had different lengths.

Allan-

The single Chaparral uses an aluminum axle, 34 11/16 inches overall length, 32 inches step to step, the twin Chaparral used a steel axle, 31 inches step to step. These dimensions are out of the parts list for the Chaparrel sprint karts.

Hi Rob and Louie,

I didn't know about the different axle lengths, so thank you for the info. :lol:

The Kart looks to have been set up for twins (and that is my intension). The axle I am trying to confirm as orginial is steel as well. I will check with the tape when I get home.

Thanks,
Allan
