boblog Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Night meeting at Teeside, do you want a kart to do it in Ross Quote
JeffC Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 am looking forward to it, although saw something quite alarming on my Wf tonite when you put lock on one way it doesnt lift a wheel at all but the other way it almost pops a wheelie when I checked it also doesnt turn one wheel as the track arm on one side has been screwed right in and the other right out , I remember doing it when I binned it months ago up at Warden Law and bent the steering, It was supposed to be temporary but I forgot all about it another job for this week need to invest in a sniper to set up the front end, was inspired by using the set at the weekend on the boys boys kart has been stripped down to a bare chassis, checked for straightness and its bang on sanded and primed and repsprayed in an electric blue colour, it looks mint Ive rebuilt it checking everything as ive reassembled, new genuine axle fitted, new disc and carrier, new floor tray and all geometery/ride heights reset, Ive removed the clutch and converted to direct drive and fitted a 5th wheel, Its cost me a ******g fortune, if the boy doesnt go quick now his A*** will be glowing red Quote
