This is my first attempt at making
a bracket for the oil cooler, I soon decided that it
wasn't any good and it was
consequently cut off.
|
|
When I fitted the chain it soon
became apparent that the chain just about fouls on the
part of the engine casting
that has the gear selector on it, thus an idle gear had
to be fitted.
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately it fits
just nice inline with the rear engine mounting bolt.
|
|
Now to reinforce the
standard super kart's chassis to help support that the
extra weight and horse power. |
|
|
|
Steering mount welded in to place.
|
|
Brake pedal mount bar reinforced. |
|
|
|
The intermediate gear selector linkage fabricated and
mounted, I used skateboard bearings to reduce friction.
|
|
This is the linkage from the engines gear selector to
the intermediate linkage. |
|
|
|
Pictured is the start of the gear
lever assembly, again I have utilised skateboard bearings
to reduce friction.
|
|
Gear lever to intermediate linkage
fabricated, I have used 8mm ball joints purchased from
my local kart shop. |
|
|
|
New tiny steering wheel (10") to help the driver get
in and out of the kart.
|
|
I wasn't particularly happy with
the strength of the clutch and throttle pivots, so I
made some
more heavy duty ones using 1/4 plate steel.
|
|
|
|
After damaging Phil's selector linkage
on his Kart by standing on it, I have decided that a
small length of 40mm angle welded
over the linkage should help reduce any damage to it
when getting in and out of the kart. |
|
This is my silver 'Boy Racer' gear
knob that was purchased for my MEV
Rocket, but was an
SVA failure due to the recessed allen bolts in the centre. |
