Upper back view of the finished rolling chassis. |
The centrifugal clutch just wasn't enough for the bottom end power so I acquired this torque converter from a friend and here it is dummied on for fit. |

The original backing plate was in the way of where the chain needed to run so I fabricated this jackshaft plate that bolts between the engine and mounting plate. |
Here is another view with the pulleys in place to check alignment. After some shimming it worked well enough to test it. |

The drum brake wasn't enough so I put this disk brake on. Unfortunately it isn't big enough either and had to be replaced with a larger caliper. |
On February 24th we bent roll cages for my kart and Tanner Anderson's. The next three pictures show the different views of the cage on mine. |
