Reply To: Project Paradimes Shifter: Making Karting Dreams Come True

A lot of the parts that you talk about having “play” are supposed to have play.  One [of the many] kart-chassis tuning methods is to tighten and loosen brackets which attach to the chassis – or sometimes removing them all together.  This includes floor tray, front-bumper bracket, side-pod brackets, torsion bars, seat brackets, etc.

 

 

Your chassis looks to be quite old as the side-pod bars do not mount perpendicularly to the chassis – that’s always a quick tell.  That was standardized sometime in the early- to mid-2000s.
