1" axle 3 feet long. 

Mechanical disc brake with floating 1/8" thick steel disc on steel carrier, uses Norton Commando pads, this brake is a retro fit as the bracket was obviously added later, original may have been a drum. 

Rear wheels are cast Zip split rims 6 1/2" wide fitted with Vintage Speed Goodyear replica tyres.

Front stub axles are 3/4" diameter with 5/8" nuts. Wheels are 5" diameter 4" wide splits, cast Zip inners and Nova Nylon outers on DK hubs with rear wheel PCD. Kart originally fitted with 4" Nylite wheels with taper roller bearings, when a set of good and safe 4" front tyres are available they will be re-fitted.

Steering wheel is an Azusa

Tank - original (egg cup capacity!)

Seat - original

Modifications - Aluminium floor was replaced with new of same gauge, but this may not have been original in the first place. Leather steering wheel bush replaced with a home made nylon unit. The nerf bars are as I got the kart but do not look original. The bumpers were originally painted silver not chrome. A small bracket was welded on the rear bumper to support the exhaust.
