Thanks Ian,change of plan just ordered 4 17 inch Pitbike wheels.
I understand the bearings in these can be changed to 17X35 can anyone confirm.
Is anyone using the cloned Torque converter being sold by Gemini any comments.
Cheers Nick

Hi Nick. I have a genuine Comet, but I would have no reservation in fitting the clone supplied by Gemini. From discussion I know that they spent some time in sourcing one that they were happy to sell themselves. Being the sole distributors of the genuine Comet they do understand the weaknesses of copies. I have handled the clone for inspection and it appears well machined.   Graham

Lights & supports fitted,real & fake light support bracket, 

That's looking pretty mean, low and cool. Hope you can get it done for Stretton and we can have a good race around.

Bit of a project update, I’m trying to get finished up before the first event of the year.

I have made the  body of the kart 50mm narrower overall to try and make it look a little better, this meant cutting the bonnet in half and making a new nose cone.

While I was at it I have dropped the seat 70mm with an aluminium tray to get the centre of gravity down a bit.

There wasn’t much time to worry about cosmetics last year, so louvres have been added that will hopefully will make it look a little better.

A new rear end was todays grp project, last years bent piece of aluminium fell foul of the endurance race where it fell into one of the rear wheels!

Hopefully next weekend will see some paint applied to the body, ready for the next event!

Just as Jim says for the front and 25 by 35 oilite bushes for the rear, unless you are boring out to 37mm. Bearing boys are a good supplier.
