DIY Cyclekart front axle

custom homemade cyclekart front axle

[@Yosser70]

Thanks man! I’m thinking of building a cycle kart over here in the UK, so buying parts isn’t really an option, so seeing detailed descriptions of parts like this is really helpful.

My wife's a Brum! I'd love to do a CK event in the UK on a visit. If you can source the 1x3 steel and the aluminum sheet, everything else can be mailed to the UK. Also, the GBCK club is pretty active, look them up on FB

@@BenTerwilliger Blimey, has she lost the accent, or do you still need a translator 😂 I can get the steel and aluminium, just gets expensive shipping stuff and it’d be a fairly budget build, so want to make as much as i can myself. I’ll look up the UK club, thank you.

Thanks for the shoutout Ben. The brotherhood of builders are happy that you are living the Cyclekart dream! Good looking axle you have there!

Dennis T! Cyclekart work scratches the itch to tinker in the garage and make something neat. Thank you again for sharing your sketches on the forum, who know how much time and metal I'd of spent working to find what worked, haha

"It's a cyclekart, doesn't have to be perfect" - so true, this is a hobby to learn new skills and time to connect with like-minded people.

[@BenTerwilliger]

It really is a fun hobby with lots of great people!

Nice work Ben. Great job helping out a buddy who wants to build.

[@BenTerwilliger]

Thanks Steve, I'm hoping to help spread some cyclekart fun around!
