Grade 8 on everything that holds a person

Nice build, I like the yellow plating. It gives the machine a cool accent.

I am trying to build a recumbent trike for my son. Your video was freaking invaluable! I appreciate it so much I am going to subscribe! Thanks bud!

Thanks! Here is an updated video where I built a jig to save me time in the long run: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpVnpMmuYLSogLg.html

Cool video. Thanks for the info. Nice kart by the way.

Nice one, thanks mate, very helpful video.

Don't include zinc in any weld. Grind off. Also never rely on that weld Grade 8 will snap as well. Do vertical tube , then add tube perp. with id that matches bolt od. Cut head off slide bolt in hole and rosette weld away from stress area. You now have a spindle that does not rely on welds in the load path.. at all Ezy peezy

LOL... 4:30. ALVIN!! nice chipmunk voice over

Nice buggy

I wasn't wearing a mask when welding the galvanized metal (I have one). Believe it or not I was holding my breath (which I do often when welding--at least on short welds). It is hard to see when it is that fast, but I hold my breath, weld, then turn to clean air to take another breath before welding again.

@@joshuabartley1279 I know. I weld in an open door garage, hold my breath, and breath outside in between welds. Probably better to have a mask, but I don't know that the ones I have are sufficient.

Impressive. And the preheat is a another hack I'll add to my collection. Thanks!

Wondering if quenching the bolt weld would help restore the lost Grade 8 hardness that was destroyed in the welding process (if the entire shank/head was fully red). Especially considering the cantilevered stress-point is exactly where the old one snapped off. BTW, like the suspended Kart front-end.

Never artificially cool weld on reinforced metal. It will snap if not now later

Nice

Wondering if the welds still holding being the zinc coating fully contaminated the weld..

i m making gokart my frint wheel bearing is 6003 which size of bolt i use to make stubaxel

I have an issue on my go kart the rubber sealant in between the hub and spindles basically just fell apart does anybody know what it’s called or if I just have to get a whole new hub that will have it already in it

Mig welding is not deep enough penetration for a stressful joint. Arc is much better. But grind zinc off first not just because its poisonous but it contaminates the weld.

The bolts break because the high welding heat ruins the temper in the metal, if you treat the spindle like a knife blade and re-temper in an oven they will last a lot better. I like the video.

Hi, I'm designing my new go kart with suspension project currently, and am looking to do something similar to yours with the a-arms and eyelets to fasten the spindles to. Can you tell me what you used to attach the eyelets that the spindle bolts to? It looks like it goes through the center channel of the a-arm and is secured from the backside. Did you fab these, or are they sourceable? Thanks!

If I understand you correctly it is something similar to this but wider: www.bmikarts.com/Shock-Mounting-Tab--38_p_1285.html You can buy them somewhere, but I just made mine.

Thank you for the link. I was actually referring to the eyelet/balljoint that is affixed to the outer end of the a-arms, that the spindle mounts to and pivots on. Did you weld a nut onto the a-arm, or is that eyelet part of a longer piece that goes through the channel on the a-arm and secures with a nut from the backside? Thanks!

@JohnHarmon

Yes, I just welded a nut onto the end. I then can adjust the length of the tie rod end in and out. I was able to make unequal a-arms that way (even though the arms were all built the same)

@wolfereese3692

In your opinion, with the different length arms enough to give it camber gains in cornering, and does that help it track through corners better? Also, are your upper and lower arms mounted exactly parallel to each other, or is the lower arm just slightly ahead of the upper in order to get a positive caster, or if not, how were you able to get a positive caster with your spindle set-up? Sorry for all the questions! All of the info you can give me is greatly appreciated and saves me from having to go through trial and error

@JohnHarmon

Yes, I think it helps, and one set of arms is slightly behind the other.... but I don't remember which way. I think the upper are behind the lower..... I remember having to add a few degrees to my spindles to even out the tires too.
