[Kartbuilding] Calculations

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Houston,

The dimensions for the individual parts are based on standard sizes of 
materials and bearings available. The sizes are also based on actual sizes 
used in existing racing go-karts (such as: 
http://www.kartbuilding.net/gallery/v/Commercial_Karts-Photos_and_Details/DSC02147.JPG.html 
) which I measured before making my own karts and which I based my plans 
on.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any more, feel free to 
email and ask.

Best of Luck,
-steve
