Hi guys,

On the old vintage kart site, someone had posted pictures and measurements for the throttle linkage that welds on the engine mount on an R1 kart. I now need it for my kart. Does anyone on this site have the information?

Thanks,

Michael
Michael.....this site has a complete build on an R-1, you'll have to navigate to find what you need, so bookmark it .

I'm pretty sure Scott Kneisel has drwaings and measurements. PM him here or maybe he'll see this and answer.
Yes, Scott K. has them to email.
I do have the drawings I made from my R1 restoration.
Happy to email them. Send me a PM.

Many thanks to Scott for providing the drawings and answering some questions I had. His reply was prompt and the drawings are excellent.

I have one set complete ready to weld on the chassis if you're in a hurry. PM me.
Also a point of interest is Scotts lower frame gussets which he has provided pictures of the
completed job that is essential for us that want to preserve the weak spot when you consider
there were no fat people at Disney land in the era these frames were engineered and built.
I weigh enough over my ideal weight of 180 where I need to consider doing this upgrade to
avoid any frame failures at the bottom rail below the gas tank edge.
these are Scotts pictures for the job.
