I need a little more help with my kart. At some point the mount for the disc brake was removed from the engine cradle. Could someone please provide the dimensions for the mount as well as the thickness of the mount. I can see from pictures the basic shape but I don't know where the mounting holes would be located.

Thanks for any help,

Michael

DAVE HAS BEEN RAISING REASONABLE CONCERNS ABOUT THE ONGOING EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING THE FORUM.  

FOR A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME FORUM FOLLOWERS HAVE WONDERED IF DAVE WILL EVER RESURRECT THE FORUM'S KART STORE.   I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A CHALLENGE THAT DEALS WITH BOTH ISSUES.

BARNESVILLE STARTS ON MARCH 16.   IF DAVE CAN GET THE STORE UP AND RUNNING BY MIDNIGHT MARCH 15 WITH AT LEAST 50 INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ( A "SET" COUNTS AS ONE ITEM - PALMINI ITEMS CAN COUNT AS TWO), I WILL CONTRIBUTE $50 TOWARD RUNNING THE SITE.   THE ITEMS DON'T ALL HAVE TO COME FROM DAVE'S STASH, IF OTHERS ARE INTERESTED IN USING DAVE'S ALTER EBAY.

OTHER GEEZERS ARE WELCOME TO MAKE "PLEDGES" TO GET DAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE IMPORTANT STUFF (REALLY - MUSTANGS & SUCH WHEN KART PARTS MIGHT MAGICALLY APPEAR!).  STRUCTURE YOUR CHALLENGE ANY WAY YOU SEE FIT - FEWER OR MORE ITEMS, DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF MONEY, DIFFERENT START OR END POINTS FOR THE ITEMS LISTED.

WE JUST NEED TO FOCUS DAVE'S ATTENTION ON THE IMPORTANT STUFF.  IF THE KART  STORE GETS UP & RUNNING, DAVE COULD CHARGE OTHER USERS A REASONABLE FEE THAT COULD GO TOWARD THE FORUM EXPENSES.

I AM TOLD THAT IT JUST TAKES THE PROPER MOTIVATION TO GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED.  THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S WORTH A TRY (UNLESS DAVE DECIDES TO THROW ME OFF THE FORUM FOR THIS)

i just walked by tv and right there in black and white they was steering a short box chevy with VISE GRIPS ..
