Go kart parts
Guys. Looking for a 1" 36" long axle. Hubs, sprockets, belt torque convertor. I am building from scratch so length of axle is approximate.
I think I will buy a new harbor frieght predator, but if a cheap engine arrives would be interested in that too. Would also like some of the plastic bucket seats seen on alot of the Chinese buggies. |
If you can get creative with lock collars and tractor hubs you can go to your local garage door company and ask for a piece of one inch keyed shaft, cut it down to length and use stop collars instead of go cart specific stuff... Thats what i did (i happen to work in a garage door company...LOL easy acess to parts...)

Is that found on the commercial doors? My neighbor in GA installed garage doors, but only residential stuff. Nothing that had a 1" shaft. (I scrapped the old stuff.)
|
Yep... The residential torsion setups use a 1" hollow tube, the heavy commercial stuff uses a 1" keyed shaft...
|
To find a garage door place. I will have to look in the yellow pages. Not many out here.
|
I went down to the maintenance shop. Those doors have the 1 inch keyed shaft.:tup:
Would I be able to talk you into shipping me about 40 inches? Maintenance guy said not much for local door places. 40 plus mile drive. |
You guys are very smart frugal and creative. True Chinariders!

Hmm... Not sure exactly how to ship a shaft like that, and the shortest length i can buy it is about 6ft... I will look into it, but shipping that stuff isnt gonna be cheap... Its pretty heavy stuff...

Thanks for the idea though. Kelvinator. I will get ahold of you about the coupon. Allen |
Do you need to use a torque converter? They're spendy, and centrifugal clutches are often rebuildable.
|
I don't have too use a torque convertor. That is one of those parts that may be optional. They have knockoffs that run about $100. Good clutches can run almost that much.
|
If you find a $100 knock-off, please send me a link. BTW, perhaps Bogieboy has some parts for sale.

If the hubs don't work let me know.
Weld, here is the link. They have auction style listings too. I have seen them go in the $95 range. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-4-GO-KART-...item35cf287784 |
