Strength is not an issue. That mount is actually over built as it is. It was more a concern of finding a suitable shock to fit, with enough travel to make it useful.
it is 1" square tube. Available at any steel yard. I like square because it is easy to work with but round would be stronger if you have the tools to work with it. It is also a little harder to work with.

would of beeen way better with the wheels spaced apart and the sprocket and brake disk on the inside of the swingarm, and all that work and only a 6.5 hp single gear motor, could of at least put a motorbike motor in it, the style you have made it it is more prone to role when turning, but nice job
it is 48" wide and the center of gravity is low enough were I can't even get a tire to lift on the turn.
The engine is highly modified, and runs around 14hp with the governer removed, carb opened up, billit fly wheel, open exhaust. It goes well over 40 MPH,which is fast enough for a go-Kart.
this is not my first go-kart...
With the wheels together, and no differential there is no wheel chatter while cornering on hard surfces.
(my opinion) u made the rear in too complicated, i think u should have spaced the back wheels apart a little bit and put the brakes between them so there not as exposed to damage such as fish-tailing into somthing like a curb and bending your rotor. othe than that i liked it
Ya...chain was too long and kept throwing the sprocket. I added the jackshaft to shortened the chain and provided a little gear reduction for better low end torque.
omg i want one. my friend an i are making a 10hp murray riding mower to a go kart this weekend!

Nice build. The lower shock mount position would be stronger at the high part of the trailing arm would it not?

it's actually pretty strong. I did a lot of engine mods. It will spin tires on a dirt road. I was just trying to keep the weight down.
