Go kart Build Update Part 3

Welded up most of the frame today and got my clutch, sprocket holder, sprocket and chain from the kart shop. I have to get a seat before i mount the other three bars as two bars are for the seat and i cant weld them when i dont no the size of the mounts on the seat. When i get that and mount it i can weld in the other bar for the foot rest to what feels comfortable. Then i have to make up the spindles and weld them on. Once ive done that then i can get the diameter of the kart and then i can make the back axle. Once ive done that i can fit on the sprocket and holder and can drill the motor mounts and hook up the chain. Then i have to make up a little brake disc on the lathe at the same time i get the axle done and then mount 2 bicycle brakes on the disc. It will brake pretty good. On my motorized bike i got one set of brakes and that stops me pretty quick from 50km/h. Given the weight of the kart i will use two for double the grip. Then i have to make a steering wheel, make a shaft for it and make some steering arms. After that i can make some pedals and mount them and hook up the brakes and throttle.

Once ive done all this it ready to go! I reckon it will take me about 2 weeks to complete or just under. I think the completion date will be about January 13th. Stay tuned for more updates! There wont be another update for another week or so as i have to build this at my dads factory and he is on holidays atm and only comes to the factory like once a week to do stuff. He said he will be there next week so i should get a lot done next week.

Oh, and the square tube chassis, where I get it? What is the thickness? Tube is that guy? Galvanized? Inox? Aluminum? Can you tell me? And what is the site? That does not work ...

[brendonv101]

u cant post links in youtube comments so replace the dot with a . i used 3mm walled galvanized square tubing. My dad already had heaps of it but u can buy it from steel places and hardware stores. Type in diygokarts into google, click on go kart plans and look through all the sub headers. Shows u how to make everything.

I remade the steering and sort of explained how it is made. Go to diygokartsdotcom and go to go kart plans then steering.
