Try Uncle Ron's other book, build your own buggy. With a bit of fettling, could be made a Kart.

Just buy a tired one from an arrive and drive centre and set too installing a "livlier" engine, like a GSXR1100!





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

I'll second that. When I was Karting I was forever fielding questions from people looking for bits to build a "yard kart".

I used to tell them that, by the time you have bought (or made, if you can) an axle, bearings, bearing carriers, sprocket and carrier, a brake system, wheels, tyres, rod ends (for steering) a steering wheel, front stub axles, etc you are much better off finding an old rolling chassis, which will have all those bits on it in one package.

Even if' it's nackered for racing it will be fine for lashing a small motor on to. Try to find some active kart racers, most will know where to find an old chassis.

I'm currently planning something with one, that I got for free!

Cheers
