Loafer,

U got a kart racing shop near you? or anyone know of an online one?


loafersmate - 22/10/03 at 04:22 PM

closeish...I go kart racing with a mate in Louth.
The shop is called SRM karting spares near Cadwell Park...search for UK karting, Jade Karts, Anderson Karts.

how many do you want coz I've got 3 or 4 at home. Or I'll go and get you some and send them over........... Demon Thieves sell then for about double that from Kart shop.

if anyone else wants them ive found a chap on ebay whos just started selling them, havent received mine yet so cant say how good they are.

Goldline would be a good source - I am out of touch with bearing distributors now (I used to work for a bearing manufacturer) but they used to specialise in race car bearings, regularly advertising in Autosport etc.

Any bearing distributor should be able to help - BSL are amongst the biggest nationally, IIRC they have an outlet in Telford.

Somebody sent me a U2U the other day about my rose joints but i accidentaly pressed delete not reply, so who ever it was could you please send it again, sorry.
