Cart to identify

Post by Patrick Lawrence » Fri Jan 31, 2014 9:36 pm

Found a rear engine racing cart today that. Will have a picture soon but thought I would ask about it now. What jumped out me with this one was the large diameter tubing for the frame. I am far from an expert but have not seen one like it. Also it is setup for duel engines with a center disk break between them.

Any way seems to be a professionaly made frame designed for racing with the floor being well below the axles.

Any ideas on what it could be ?


(EDIT) Here are the images. As you can see it looks like some one welded a new riser plate on to the old engine mounts. And then later some one did a bad job of moving the pedals. But I am glad they did not cut the main part of the frame. Oh and the main frame tube size is 1.75"

Because of the limit on size of images I just posted them all to my website. http://salvage77.com/2014/02/vintage-racing-kart/

Patrick,

Posting pictures is always your best bet for identifing a kart or part plus its always cool for the site viewers to be able to see something unique or individual for a specific model or make of kart that you may be inquiring about.

Theres plenty of very knowledgable folks here also and they are always willing to help out their fellow enthusiast.

Not 100% sure but my guess is home made.
