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...

I went down to the maintenance shop. Those doors have the 1 inch keyed shaft.
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.

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...

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
