Im trying to track down some info on front brake sytems for Go karts,, i believe they are used for certain class divisions...google isnt being very helpful.

have you thought of calling buckmore park? they may be able to help ya?

is this for the cart with the TL1000 engine? if so they gona have to be some meaty calipers!

i have head of people using brembo scooter calipers as they are cheap, powerful and realy easy to get hold of. dunno if that helps

[Fargo]

looking at the pics of the gixxerkart, they seem to have standard kart brakes,

I would go with some super bike brakes, i.e from a Honda fireblade,Gixer 1000,YamahaR1 as these are mada by brembo

but you would have to be well carfull about locking the wheels. as they lock up so easy. need something that can be used realy prgressively and even when full on wont just lock the axle up.

thats why i thought the scooter ones would be good, they have power but not overly powerful.

altho on second thoughts what about using a rear brake from a superbike like the Gsxr, it would be easy to set up as its already designed to be used with a foot operation.

Use the full assembly, the master cylinder and the caliper. relitively small discs too. that would be my choice. and there is no messing about either.
