Hi,

Do you have suspension on your kart? If so, then this makes things more 
tricky and I don't have plans or details which cover the steering geometry 
for these type of karts.

For karts with no suspension, there are plenty of details on how to setup 
the steering. See:

Lastly, a blog article on the steering setup can be found at:

If you have any specific questions, just drop us an email.

Best of luck,
-steve
