    Trick for cutting the foam use an electric knife like would be used in the kitchen. Also if you cut the foam about a half inch oversize for you seat plate it will wrap the edge of the seat plate smoothing the edges making it look more professionally done for those who never recovered a seat. Also the t-nuts should seat in flush to the board best way to install t-nuts is on the floor where the board wouldn't bounce. Also the best plywood to use is marine grade. And you should glue the foam to the pan plate before covering it as it prevents the foam from sliding and bunching up when cornering and braking.

    I would say bringing lil red up the hill was the craziest thing I ever saw; if I hadn’t have seen a 13yr.old boy pouring gas in a carb. From a coke bottle,sitting on the fender with the hood off while his 15yr. Old brother drove the old car down a country road.. but I was 15 and thought it was funny at the time. Bad thing was his daddy owned a little junk yard and a wrecker they could have used!😊

    sometimes you can put seat covering in a pillow case after cutting it to size and putting it in the dryer making it more ply able and stretchy then it doesn't require the stitches or folding in the corners.

    You should make a go kart that has heated seats, inclosed cave, air conditioning, maybe power steering, have lights. Maybe Evan you can make attachments for it like a mower like this comment so he can pin it. I think it is a awesome idea. You should also put a v twin on it and it would be like a utility luxury vehicle.

      Same here along with replacing the rotted out seat with the cheapest folding boat seat they can find, and of course if the tires are not bald as slicks they go to walmart and get at least 3 different sized and/or brand lawnmower tires to put on it.
      When I picked up the last one the guy kept going on and on about the "new" tires to the point I thought he was attached to them. After I bought it and got it loaded up I asked him if he wanted them back and I think it ticked him off. It had 2 different brand 20 inch atv tires on the front and 2 16 inch turf saver tires on the rear. When I test drove it the thing was dragging the ground all over the place and had no traction.

    • @DeliriousMindBovice315

    • @user-neo71665
      @user-neo71665 6 лет назад

      Those are old knobbies, back in the 70s-80s just about any and all atvs had those factory. Kenda scorpions are a good example if they even still make them. I know back then atvs and lawn mowers shared rim sizing so it wasn't uncommon for guys to put the atv tires on a mower. We had a old rust bucket we mowed around our ponds with that had knobbies on all 4 corners back in the 80-90s because it would get stuck with turf tires.

    What happened to the cage? Mine has a 6.0hp Tecumseh and a full cage along with Murray explorer vinyl stickers on the front of the kart (you’re missing the metal by the pedals). I think the only thing my kart doesn’t have is the plastic cover on the rear and some damaged wood on the bottom of the seat (common issue).

    I've made seats before. But I always keep an eye out for someone throwing out a coutch and cut the back out it and grab a cushion for the foam. Only some have the good stiff foam. Did you try out the black pipe in the plumbing section to make handle bars? Great job on the seat bu the way. Love the vids

      We haven't tried the plumbing tube yet but I do have some. Probably going to look out for some couch seats for the future for sure.
