Go Kart wheels and tires....

i would go with the solid steel rod, all-thread is flimsy and may potentially break. i only spent a short time over there (hardly even an hour) today and got the 'lugs' all welded up to the wheel surface.. didn't get a chance to look through the bearings.. i LITERALLY finished welding the last 'lug stud,' sat my helmet/gloves down and got drug out of the shed.. i hate doing family  >:l

i'll have em done in the next couple days.. i know you're not worried about time, but i am lol i have 2 orders to frames and only waiting on the material to be delivered.. then it'll be about a month of continuous 8-10 hour days of bending/cutting/notching/welding.. can't wait until this side of the business is self-supporting enough to hire someone else to do all that  LOL

LOL. At least you're working. That's a good side of it. I may be swapping jobs early next year, but I'm taking my time to decide. In the mean time, working on the Sport and a wagon.LOL

i suppose.. i'd rather keep pumping out front axles, wings and the parts that are manufactured by the machine shop until i move and set up shop again.. working in a 12x13 shed gets cramped after a bit lol

12x13? Yeah, that's a little cramped when you're trying to work.

I'll be taking the "before" pics tomorrow of the wagon before I start working on it. I want to have a record of what I do to it.
