    Brass bushes fitted into the sliding tube parts of the stub axles. Bored with my little lathe.
    Pillars cut to length. One of those things that just accidentally worked out well,
    the cut off point required the friction disc up against the welded on travel limiter.

    I took my Frazer-Nash up to Kapunda with the Vintage Speedway Association last Suday for their "test and tune" day, alas I only got one lap in, going like the clappers on the first lap, drifting a little around the top bend and my torque converter self destructed ......back to the workshop !

    These might be interesting to some builders. 19mm x 35 X 11 bearings.
    Because I'm building my own stub axles these bearings will allow me to fab them with HD 19mm axles.
    So long as they are not made out of Chinese cheese they will be great.
    Of course, at less than $2 ea. they could be replaced after each meeting!

      I did similar with 17mm ID bearings. But at that price you would be crazy not to try them! Let us know how they turn out

    My front wheels have arrived. Chinese dirt bike, nice quality.....and the price... around $54 ea. with free shipping. Whoo Hooo!

    These were on Aliexpress, you need to spend a fair bit of time sussing out the bargains and pay particular attention to the shipping cost.
    Bit of tension while monitoring the tracking, they were held up at Chinese airport for a couple of weeks to get on special "oversize'" freight flights.
    I actually got some discount vouchers because of the delays.

    My original plan was to build my own wheels around some nice 1970's Yamaha MX hubs I have. Then sourcing the 17" rims and custom spokes, tyres, tubes and rim bands, add the time to assemble and true and we are looking at hundreds & hundreds of $$$$$ for 2 wheels.

    Now that I have the wheels, I can finish the pillar spacing and the stub axle design to meet the track width spec.

I originally built a straight ladder frame. I thought it was good to go, then work out because I was using pillow block bearings for the rear axle, it would have a massive raked angle with the rear sitting so much higher. So i ended up chopping off the= rear and putting the 'zed' in it. Bit of a pain but in the end it will give a so much better result  More ...

      Haha, same here. Having the zee'd chassis with pillow block bearings allows easier rear axle removal compared to running the axle through the chassisHaha, same here.

    Looking to revive my dream of building a cycle kart with my grandson. The 3 wheeler I initially dreamed of proved too complex so I'm toying with the idea of battery power. I sold the parts I had gathered so its a fresh start. At least I still got my tools. I could really do with a dimensioned plan for chassis if anyone has one.

      There's some basic dimensions in the resources section under 'plans' that outline a 'traditional' Stevenson style build. This is a pretty goodThere's some basic dimensions in the resources section under 'plans' that outline a 'traditional' Stevenson style build. This is a pretty good starting point as it gives axle placement, chassis rail width and taper along with wheelbase. You can tweak this to suit your tribute car. Generally this formula works for all builds as it's basically a scaled version of a full size car and is proportionally correct for the 17" wheels.

      The technical specs, which you can find in the resources section under 'technical' outlines wheelbase and track requirements, so also pays to familiarise yourself with those as well.        More ...

    I have been fascinated by these toys and envied groups that were local.
    Consequently I make the offer to encourage this group.
    We can meet in sheds perhaps.
