[Kartbuilding] Fwd: design of front axle

[Stephen Burke]

Hi,
A DIY kart is a "Do It Yourself" kart.
Basically all the plans on my website are for people to make a (DIY) kart.

DIY = Do it yourself. Generally a home project/ hobby etc.

As I mentioned, all the plans I have are on the website.
The AutoCAD plans are there also! The link is:

Best of Luck,
