Has using the lock collars tack welded held up so far? It seems like a reallt smart idea. I bought a similar rack off amazon and am brainstorming how to mount it. I don't weld but i might need to find someone to do this for me. Rest of my kart has been fabricated with bolts so far
That’s one nasty ass grinder burn! I hate when I do that. Seems like I would learn but some how it happens every couple of years. I see some rack and pinions on eBay for around $75 for EZGO golf carts that are a little narrower. I remember my dad setting his tow in and out on our 57 orange and white Ford. Jack the front end up just under the ball joints, Spin the wheel and use blue carpenters chalk close to the middle of both tires, spin again rub the center with a nail to leave a narrow black line. Then he would take a long stick and drive two nails the distance between the marks on the front of the tires. Then check the distance on the marks at the rear if the front tires. He would adjust so the front marks would be about a 1/4 inch closer on the front marks than the rear marks. Depending on how tight your steering is maybe a little less.

Great job
Cool video, can't wait till watch the full build for your son
Thank you sir! Got more videos coming! He did some welding the other day (up coming video) and he did really good! Super proud dad moment!
Ya got a LINK or description of the rack??? I'm wondering IF I could use such on a lawnmower?
Does the steering wheel have to be in the middle I got a 2 seater and the steering is falling apart need to replace it
No there is an offset rack they make for the 2 seaters! It’s pretty much the same just offset! Let me see if I can find a link.

Is there a good easy way to buy a steering system that will work for go kart I already have?
Yes and no! They will take some modifications no matter what unless you already have the rack and pinion set up! It’s worth the effort though!
How big r ur wheels and tires?
10x8 on the wheels and the tires are 205/50r10! I really like them and they look good imo!
can you give me link for that? thanks
