Below is a table listing parts sources for building a typical Cyclekart. Generally these parts follow the 'traditional' Stevensons Cyclekart design and basic technical specifications
It should be noted that they are not the only way of building a Cyclekart, but are probably the most common.
You can view the full parts list on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com.au/hz/wishlist/ls/18OTUYIRZP9RH
Please note that this list is provided as a point of reference for first timers, and should help point you in the right direction with what parts you might need to source. It includes most of the technical parts that you will require for your Cyclekart build. In addition to these you will need to source chassis material, engine, bodywork and whatever other trim and trinkets that you require. Please check your local group for chassis sources.
The parts listed are not exhaustive, nor are they the best or cheapest, but are a good starting point. We would definitely advise that you spend some time online comparing prices as these parts may be cheaper elsewhere such as eBay or AliExpress.
If you have any questions or are unsure of anything, please feel free to create a question in the Main forums or your local Group

We would like to give credit to Steve Vinson as it was his Amazon list that inspired this one. - https://www.amazon.com/shop/stevevinson
Not listed or available on Amazon are reproduction Honda CT90/CT200 wheels. These are reproductions of the Postie Bike wheels that are traditionally used. It should be noted however that there are two manufacturers for these, and one has a tendency to fail as the material thickness in the hub is thinner than the originals. The following eBay advert is the correct style of wheels. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360470589040
Other materials
In addition to the parts listed above. You will also need materials for the chassis and bodywork. The traditional material for building the chassis is 75mm x 25mm x 1.6mm RHS Steel (Rectangular Hollow Section). This is commonly used in verandah construction here in Australia. It is a little thicker than the stuff that the guys in the US use (1.2mm) and so will be slightly heavier, but choices are limited to what gets imported, which in turn is driven by market demand.
Body material can be anything you want, and is limited only by your skills and imagination. The traditional Stevensons design uses a simply plywood box that sits between the chassis rails made from a mixture of 1/4" (6mm) and 1/2" (12mm) ply. But people have used steel, aluminium, fibreglass, old canoes, tractor cowls, basically anything that has the desired effect.
The front spring is the hardest part to source here in Aus. The easiest solution is to cough up the money and buy a pair from Renegade Cyclekarts, but, that is not without considerable expense once you factor the exchange rate, GST and shipping into the mix. The traditional buggy seat springs used originally are 25mm wide x 5mm thick x 600mm long. People have tried to use car and trailer springs, which are all generally 50mm wide x 6mm thick, but even cutting them down the middle to give you two 25mm springs is still less than optimal as they will still be too thick (6mm) and too long (generally 700mm+). This makes them too stiff and essentially ineffective. I've tried to source the correct material to have some made up locally, but again, demand drives what gets imported and no one uses this size steel in the correct grade.
So there is no specific source for the front springs, it is a case of seeing is what's out there and what can be adapted.
Lastly, of course you need embellishments. Farm sales, bric-a-brac markets, garage sales, gumtree, grandpa's shed are all good sources for those additional trinkets and bits-and-bobs that you can use to finish off your build.
