The need to drive the half-completed cyclekart is irrepressible and may not be denied!
Oh and yes - it felt like there's way too much toe-in on the front wheels and now I can see that's obvious.
Have fun!

Is that an 'Arooooga' horn I spy on the front? A 12V gel alarm battery willAwesome!!!!! Always the best feeling when you get a project running.
Is that an 'Arooooga' horn I spy on the front? A 12V gel alarm battery will drive that pretty good. Was planning to add on to my cart to power the lights (when I get that far lol.) More ...
After this video, I reduced the toe-in and beefed up the steering rod bearings, just because.
Yes,Thanks Mick. It felt absolutely awesome.

Yes, it's a cheap copy "Klaxon" horn (under $25 delivered, on ebay). It comes in black and chrome plastic, but I painted it. They are loud! I discovered that the sound scales down a little and the "a-ooo-gaaa" sound slows down a bit, if you run them on 6-8 volts instead of 12. Another hobby I have is electric powered gliders, so I've plenty of old LiPo batteries - they weight almost nothing and don't self-discharge.
Now I have to pull the whole thing apart, to paint the frame. Then I can put it back together and get started with the bodywork and dress-ups - woo hoo!
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions, by the way.

I used to have a similar horn on my Kombi but it was a bit lowYou are most welcome. My mum used to say 'I am a mine of useless information', lol.
I used to have a similar horn on my Kombi but it was a bit low and unfortunately got smashed on a bump. They always bring a smile to peoples faces. Very appropriate for a cyclekart I think.
