I have a 90cc Dinli cart that when I got it the brakes were pulled apart and half of the caliper is gone. I’ve looked a lot of places but can’t seem to match it up. It a cable from the pedal to the caliper, the cable pulls a lever that cams and pushed a hydraulic plunger. Any advice would be great. Thank you

Post up some pictures of the caliper for everyone to see what you're working with.

I tried in my first post and I just tried again but obviously something isn’t working properly

We're having an issue with the site automatically reducing the file size. A temporary walk around until we get it fixed is to reducing the file size to 97kb or smaller before uploading.

I only have a phone and not a regular PC. Does anyone know how to load pics with a phone?

That is an odd one. I've never seen one with the reservoir on the caliper.

Now do you see my dilemma? What else could I do for brakes?

With a little forethought and fabrication, you could use a rod from the brake pedal to a bellcrank fastened to a flat plate along the frame rail. The other end of the bellcrank is attached to a pitbike rear master cylinder with a long length of brake line running back to a new caliper. Posting some pics of the kart itself, pics of the frame from the pedal to the rear brake rotor, and where a different caliper would mount would be a big help

Here's a very basic idea, to give you an idea of what I said above. The rod is attached to the brake pedal so it is pulled forward when you step on the brake. The rod pulls on the bellcrank which is attached to a flat plate mounted to the frame. The other end of the bellcrank pushes on the master cylinder plunger forcing brake fluid through a regular brake line to the rear caliper.

I definitely get what you’re saying. I did order a caliper that seems like it might be close. Well see what happens. Thank you for your input!
