Lets See if we can Install a Bigger Brake! A Fun Machine Shop Project
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The kart needed a bigger better rear brake. The motorcycle one was too small for the extra machine weight. It did work ok but did get quite hot on multiple harsh stops. I used the same caliper as on the front which are awesome. (1976 MG Midget) They had a piston on each side of the rotor which is very rare. Most calipers have the piston/pistons on 1 side only. The housing has to move applying that outboard pad. That design is cheaper to build and always has a tad of drag, even when every thing is working perfect. After 7 months the kart is finally done except for the vinyl. (big happy happy time for me!) I will be getting back to the home/shop vid's now to benefit you viewers. Thank all of you for still staying tuned, Jeff.

Thank you! The mill and lathe were from Harbor freight. Don't use the mill much, nice to have when needed. The lathe gets used almost weekly. Where I keep them clean one would think different!

I think some things from harbor freight work well when I need then to. Many people give there products a bad wrap.
I have to watch your videos on my own from now on. My wife keeps asking why isn't my workshop tidy like yours.

Glad you put in how you clean the chips off the floor. I must have forgotten that in your vacuum setup video. You will be burning rubber very soon.

So nice to get a ride again. Like one person said - that kart is a part of you. So true. A friend even said if that kart was in other hands it might have been junked. Sad thought big time....
Nice video, Jeff and excellent content. Thanks!

Hi Jeff. May I recommend an electric project related to renewable energy, such as wind or solar for your shop. Take care.
I need one of the starter attachments for my 4 wheelers because Im a Disabled Vet and cant crank on foot pedal if you could help with more details if i could build on without any shop equipment like a lathe
How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? Just wondering.
