If additional width is needed, use red plastic centering rings and widen the axle. Be careful not to go too wide and loose fixation of the wheel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure the rear bumper is very loose, not so loose that it falls off, but it should not become a torsion member.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeat Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get the correct seat measurement as it relates to the frame rails use two 2” x 4” pieces of tubing wide enough to span the chassis where the seat will be placed with enough overhang to be clamped to the frame rails. Depending on the grip required, the bottom of the seat is set flush with or to the middle of the longitudinal frame rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst clamp the tubing to the bottom of the frame rail. Place spacers up to ½” on top of the tubing and tape them in place. Next place the seat on top of the spacers. (TIP: a weight inside the seat will help keep it stable and upright). When installing a flat bottom seat it is best to use the angle built into the seat when positioning the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext you must get the second vital dimension which is the actual position of the drivers back. In order to get the correct balance in the chassis it is important to understand where the drivers back is in relation to the rear axle. Take a 90° line (approximate) from one side of the spine recess and measure the shortest distance to the axle surface. (the spine recess runs down the middle of the back of the seat) You must not use the spine recess to measure this it varies in depth to much between each type of seat. With a 155 pound driver this dimension is currently an average of 6 3\/8”. Please note bolting a substantial amount of lead weight to the back of the seat can make a difference to the seat position, it will force you to position the seat further forward to achieve the same balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore marking the holes, bend the flat metal tabs of the seat struts so the flat parts are parallel to the surfaces of the seat. You can use a large adjustable crescent wrench to do this. Mark the holes, a good tip is to put a blob of paint on the end of an 8M bolt and pass the bolt through the strut spotting the seat in all the four main mounting points. Drill all four mounting points, use the nylon seat washers between the composite and the seat struts (additional spacers, rigid (not rubber) may be used to fill any gaps between the struts and the seat). Tighten the bolts until very tight. The quantity of spacers must be correct to ensure the composite is not pulled out of its natural shape and to keep the seat in the desired position. Extra seat struts can now be fitted if used. Keep the head of the bolt away from the top edge of the seat to eliminate bruising of the ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you are completely satisfied with the performance of the kart, record the position, size and shape of the correctly fitted seat. Also record the measurements of the furthest forward edge of the seat to the main chassis rail where your heel would normally rest and from the axle surface up to the top edge of the seat. (see dim. 1) Keep the dimension that the seat shows below the chassis tubes. Prepare the seat for wet weather by drilling two holes for water drainage at the lowest point of the seat. Remember to consider your rain tire may be a different diameter than the dry tire, check that there is sufficient ground clearance when fitting rain tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem 0;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4721\/8494\/files\/lo206-vlr-emerald-kart-setup.pdf?v=1775603420\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4721\/8494\/files\/lo206-vlr-emerald-kart-setup-pdf-preview.png?v=1775603423\" alt=\"LO206 VLR Emerald Setup Guide\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.9em;color:#555;margin-top:0.35rem;\"\u003eLO206 VLR Emerald Setup Guide\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0.35rem 0 0 0;font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4721\/8494\/files\/lo206-vlr-emerald-kart-setup.pdf?v=1775603420\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDownload PDF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem 0;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4721\/8494\/files\/vlr-sniper-installation-4-cycle-kart.jpg?v=1775603426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4721\/8494\/files\/vlr-sniper-installation-4-cycle-kart-thumb.jpg?v=1775603429\" alt=\"Sniper installation on VLR 4-cycle racing kart chassis\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.9em; color:#555; margin-top:0.35rem;\"\u003eSniper installation on VLR 4-cycle racing kart chassis\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jn8mmrh-right-hand-8mm-jam-nut-jn8mmrh","title":"VLR 8mm Right Hand Jam Nut - M8x1.25 Pitch - Universal Kart Chassis","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocking down your steering geometry is non-negotiable when sourcing reliable cart parts for high-speed chassis setups.

Proper chassis alignment is just as crucial as tuning your \u003cstrong\u003eracing engines\u003c\/strong\u003e; a fraction of a millimeter in toe change can drastically alter your top speed and tire wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Outlast Your Go Kart Tires\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed from high-grade steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, this 8mm jam nut is designed to withstand the brutal vibrations generated by high-RPM powerplants. You won't find this level of durability in standard hardware store nuts. It's specifically threaded for left-hand metric heim joints, making it an essential spare part for your pit box. Before you consult your \u003cstrong\u003eengine diagram\u003c\/strong\u003e for your next tuning session, make sure your chassis is mechanically sound from the steering shaft down to the spindles. A secure front end ensures that the mechanical grip generated by your \u003cstrong\u003ego kart tires\u003c\/strong\u003e is efficiently transferred to the track surface, maximizing your corner exit speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e M8 x 1.25 Left Hand (LH) thread for metric heim joints and tie rods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-tensile steel designed to resist stripping and deformation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Locks steering components securely against high-frequency chassis harmonics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc-plated finish prevents rust and seizing in wet racing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrench Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard metric hex profile for quick trackside adjustments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with VLR, Tony Kart, Birel, and most European metric chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for securing tie rod ends, steering columns, and custom linkages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why do I need a left-hand thread jam nut for my steering tie rods?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kart tie rods use a combination of right-hand and left-hand threads to allow for toe adjustments without removing the rod from the chassis.
