MATERIALS REQUIRED:
(42 FT) Round Tubing, 1.00 O.D. X .058 wall
(2 X 6) Mild steel sheet, 11 GA
(4 X 8) Mild steel plate,
(4 X 12) Mild steel sheet, 14 GA
(23 X 22) Mild steel sheet, 16 GA
SUGGESTED TOOLS:
Tube bender with a bending die for tubing, 4 bend
radius.
Hole saw cutting tool (such as a Joint Jigger or similar
brand)
Hole saw, diameter
Bend grinder with wide grinding wheel.
Flat work surface
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This project is intended to be completed using either MIG,
TIG, or Oxy-Acetylene weld processes. However, if either TIG
or the Oxy processes are used, the weld joints need to be
particularly tight.
Whenever you make more than one bend in a tube form
that must remain flat, pay particular attention to the plane of
the tube prior to each bend. Otherwise, the tube form may
become unusable. This can be accomplished by adjusting the
height of a take-up table or surface to correspond to the

bottom of the tube. This is best done before any bends are
made, while the tube is resting in the bending die.
The actual plans for the frame follow the steps which are
necessary to building the frame. The images where take out of
our PDF version of the plans and some measurements are
hard to read, so what we did was put a URL after each image
with measurements that may be hard to read. I think youll
find it helpful J

INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1
Referring to the cut list on page one of the drawing, cut a
length of X .058 tubing for part number WP-908-2.
Step 2
Using a tube bender with a X 4 bending die, make the
bends in the tube to create part number WP-908-2 as shown
on the drawing. This will be the bottom of the go-kart frame
After all bends are made, this part will be a rectangle. Make
sure the tube ends are within a 1/16 from each other and
facing each other in the middle of one of the shorter legs of the
rectangle, as noted on the drawing.
Step 3
Weld the ends of the tube rectangle together. This should be
a flat weld bead all the way around the tube. Make sure the
frame bottom lays flat on the work surface before and after it
is welded.
Step 4
Cut the length of tubing for part number WP-908-3
Step 5

Similar to the above steps, make the necessary bends to


create part number WP-098-3.
Step 6
Most hole saw tools will not make long, shallow cuts like the
ones at the
ends of part number WP-908-3. This is due to the limited
travel distance of the hole saw. An effective method of
preparing these tube ends for the joint is by forming them on a
bench grinder. This is a common method of creating a Fishmouth in the ends of tubing used in aircraft construction. It is
done by using a dressing wheel to create a radius to the face
of a grinding wheel. The width of the grinding wheel must
equal the diameter of the tubing to which the part will mate- in
this case, .
After the grinding wheel face has been shaped (radiused),
the tube end can be formed by holding the end of a tube at the
correct angle while grinding a concave or fish-mouth
necessary to create the joint geometry.
It is advisable to practice first on a piece of scrap tubing. Be
sure to work slowly and check the fit often. It wont take long
to get a feel for how much to grind. The results can be
surprisingly good.
Step 7
Cut tubing and make the necessary end cuts for part
numbers WP-908-5, WP-908-6, WP-908-7, WP-908-8, WP-908-

9, and WP-908-10. Always check the fit of the tube where there
is contact with another tube, in other words, at the joints.
Step 9
Place the frame bottom, WP-908-2, on the flat work surface.
Clamp it in place, or place weights on top so it will not move
easily.
Position a WP-908-10 on one side of the frame bottom as
indicated on the drawing. Make sure this tube is vertical and
perpendicular to the long side of the bottom frame. Tack weld
in place.
Step 10
Repeat on the other side of the frame bottom.

Step 11
Place part numbers WP-908-6, and WP-908-7 between the
frame bottom and in the locations indicated on the drawing.

Tack weld in place.

Step 12
Place part numbers WP-908-3, WP-908-5, WP-908-8, and
WP-908-9 on the frame bottom as indicated on the drawing.
Hold these parts in place with clamps, magnets, or wire.
Recheck placement and fit after they have been secured in
place. There should not be more than a 1/16 gap between
parts at the joints.

Step 13
Tack weld each tube at the joints. Make sure the frame
bottom is still flat on the work surface. Complete the welds at

each joint, alternating from one side of the frame to the other.
Step 14
Cut a length of tubing and bend according to the drawing to
make part number WP-908-4. This is the roll-over bar/seat
back.
Step 15
Position the roll-over bar on the frame according to the
drawing. Check the fit at the tube ends. Tack weld in place at
both ends of the tube. Recheck placement and fit and complete
the welds.
Step 16
Make part number WP-908-13. Position each part (one at a
time) on the frame and check the fit. Tack weld each tube at
the correct angle, making sure both parts are in-line with part
number WP-908-6 (front crossmember).
The position, placement, and angle of these parts directly
effect the tracking and steering of the go-kart. Once this has
been assured, complete the welds.
Step 17
Cut part number WP-908-16 (qty 2) from the 11 GA sheet.
Bend the plates as indicated on the drawing. Note: use the flat
pattern dimensions when cutting the parts out of the sheet.

Step 18
Weld WP-908-16 in place one at a time as indicated on the
drawing. The position, placement, and angle of these parts also
affect the tracking and steering of the go-kart. Special care
should be taken to assure they are correct on the frame before
and after welding.
Step 19
Cut and prepare the ends of part number WP-908-12 (qty 2).
Cut a length of tube for part number WP-908-11.
Step 20
Position these tubes on the frame as indicated on the
drawing. Check the joint fit and tack weld in place. Then
complete the welds.
Step 21
From the 16 GA material, cut part number WP-908-17. Place
this part on the frame and weld in place. To eliminate or avoid
warping the plate, or causing misalignment, begin by tack
welding the plate at each corner and in the middle of each
edge.
Step 22
Cut part number WP-908-14 from the plate material.

Tack weld in place. Check placement referencing the drawing.


Complete the welds. These plates are the rear axle bearing
mounting plates. The details of the bearing mounting holes
have been omitted due to the various bearings that are
available and may be preferred by the builder.
Step 23
Cut part number WP-908-15 from the 14 GA material, using
the flat pattern dimensions. Make the indicated bends in the
part This part is the engine mount bracket. The engine mount
bolt pattern has been omitted due to the various engines
available and preferred by the builder. The particular mounting
holes can easily be drilled in the bracket after welding.
Step 24
Place the engine mount bracket on the frame and position as
indicated on the drawing. Check the fit and tack weld in place.
Complete the welds.
At this point the basic go-kart frame is complete. Items not
included in this plan set are the spindles, gas and brake pedals,
steering shaft and bellcrank, seat and seat mounting. All these
items are readily available, off-the-shelf items that do not need
to be fabricated.
