I made one similar to this using a cheap harbor freight vise grip and some scrap metal I had laying around. Clone Engine Building Tools | KartBlog.Net - Tips, Tricks and Karting Talk

I had the same problem with fuel line from a couple of the online karting supply shops. I finally ended up buying some from this guy a couple years back and it hasn't hardened yet. 10' Fuel Line Red Gas Hose Go Cart Kart Jet Ski Birel | eBay

Every kart I've ever ridden has been a live axle so I'm the wrong guy to ask.

After looking a bit closer at your pics. The rear end of your kart is similar to the Bonanza that SooterBoy on this site has. If you search his posts you can probably find some more pics of his kart and perhaps copy that setup. If it lasted almost 50 years on his kart it should last a while on...

I bought my live axle and a set of two bolt bearing flanges either from BMI or Americanpowersports (been too long to remember) and made my own hangers. I welded the hangers to the side of the frame and also spot welded them to the bottom of the frame. In the rear I added a gusset to stiffen it...

That Flexo was one clean looking minibike.

Loving the editing on that video :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Are you bringing your R900s?

Sure sounds like a Simplex. Not sure which model though. They have the huge rear tube and the straight across steering wheel like you mentioned Here's a pic of a Simplex Challenger. 1961 Simplex Challenger Go Kart Classic Vintage Print Ad

Any pics of your kart?

No offense taken. I know I'm not putting out tons of power especially compared to some of the other builds on this site but I don't feel like I spent a bunch of frivolous money on this build. I could be way off base here but I would think an engine with only an air cleaner and exhaust would not...

Thanks!

I did it more for the visual appeal but safety wiring the bolts makes it impossible for them to loosen up. It's used in the aviation industry where a loose bolt could spell disaster.
