Go Kart wheels and tires....

ss are free material lol would be cheaper than the hubs and would only take me about 5-10 minutes to whip up.. only difference would be instead of it being a screw in wheel stud with a nut, it would simply be nut and bolt

good news, i have 1 made up.. i just have to do a little cleaning up on it, but it didn't turn out half bad for a first try.. wound up just using 1/8" plate, marked the holes, center punched and drilled them.. then just used a hole saw to cut the center, slip the 1-1/4" OD pipe in and weld it up.. i have a funeral to go to and some running around to do tomorrow, so i won't be able to get the the other 3 until sometime over the weekend.. i'll post some pictures up for you once i get the other 3 finished up

I love that you love fab work. LOL. I'm not a welder. Never tried. One day, I'll invest in a little welder, but for now, no dice.

it's fun until i have to build a chassis.. 1 chassis takes 3 2lb spools of wire, which is a lot of welding when you break it down.. lol

How do the hubs connect to an axle assembly?

on a 1/4 midget? basically just like a car.. same basic spindle design, but with sealed bearings.. this deign, a standard sealed bearing on each end.. i imagine you'll probably have to get some longer steel bar to run through the bottom to accommodate the much wider wheels, which you can get at any hardware store. you'll probably just have to slip the hubs on the new 'axles,' position them in your desired location, mark each side where the hub rests and drill for a cotter pin (in front of and behind the hub).. i'd recommend using a washer on each side, so you don't have the hub/bearing sawing against the pin

I have no idea of the shaft size yet. I'll just make sure I get axles that will fit the hubs. I have to swap it all out anyway. I'm going to, eventually, order new suspension for it from Ebay. It's like $35.00 for the front and rear, brand new.

I was looking, and figure I can make axles from some heavy all-thread or steel bar from Lowe's. Not sure the diameter. Any ideas?
