PRO-TIP: To prevent the heat from warping the metal, don’t weld too long in one spot. If something doesn’t line up, double check your measurements. Once you ensure your pieces are square, finish with complete welds to properly secure the metal together. Tack welds temporarily hold your pieces together and can easily be ground off if a mistake is made.

Our Forney 190 MP was set to 45 amps, 18.9 volts in the manual 2T mode. Make sure to set your machine to the recommended settings for the metal you’re welding. These will appear after cutting and can easily be grinded off. If you notice your pieces don’t fit flush together, check for metal burrs on the ends of the metal. This will help to ensure the chassis is level and square. After you’re finished drilling, you’re ready to tack weld the pieces together.įind the most level and flat surface available to assemble and construct the chassis. Your plans should help you determine what pieces should be drilled. Some of the holes needed were for the brake and gas pedals as well as the seats. For convenience, we pre-drilled all the holes our plans called for, especially in areas that would be harder to get to once welded together. It’s easiest to start with the main base frame and build the go-kart up from there. Your pieces should all be laid out and labeled. PRO-TIP: Use heavy-duty magnets to help align your metal and ensure your angles are straight. Use an angle-finder to help set angles before you cut them. PRO-TIP: Scribe your metal before cutting. Double check your plans and make sure you have the correct parts and pieces. Cut all pieces to length as described in your plans and lay them out with the labels facing outward. For the steeper and compound angles, an angle grinder is great to get that custom fit. We used a dry saw to cut more shallow and common angles (45 degree and 22.5 degree angles). Follow the rule of thumb to measure twice and cut once to save a lot of time in the long run. Use a paint marker to label each individual cut piece so they are easy to identify for assembly. It doesn’t hurt to purchase extra material in case of a wrong cut or you find you need additional steel. Mooney could also easily customize these plans and add additional features to make it his own.įor this build, the first step is to cut all the pieces according to plan. This two-seater dual suspension kart was just the design Mooney was looking for, and would allow his family to join in on the fun.
