[Kartbuilding] Ques

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Aaron,

You could try the PVC pipe and see, but to be honest, I'm not sure it will 
be strong enough.

The steering column of the wooden push kart is meant to be made from solid 
steel bar. You should be able to, using a large hammer and vice, bend it 
to get the correct shape.
You can also get some chalk, and draw out on the ground the correct bent 
shape. Then keep hammering and bending the solid steel bar, until it lines 
up with the chalk shape on the ground.

Best of luck,
-steve
