Tig Welding Dartford Aera
I need some tig welding done on a crack in my kart chassis after last week's altercation at Bayford Meadows where I managed to snap my rear
axle.
Apparently, this is a known fault with a Tony Kart. The chassis tube has cracked where the bearing carrier meets the chassis (where the red arrow
is)
Can anyone in the Dartford area buzz a line of weld around the chassis so I can get this back together?
It's all stripped with a new rear axle and bearings ready to go back in.

Sorry, I can't help with the welding but do have a question. Would running a third bearing in the other carrier not take off some of the
stresses going through the cracked carrier? When I raced (quite a few years ago now) we always ran with the three bearings and never had any issues.
Just seems like you would have a lot of flex/stress running through that area which is why they ran the third carrier?
Sometimes in the wet we losened off the third carrier to get a bit more flex in the chassis.
Hope you get it fixed?
