Model-T Brake System

Model – T Go-Kart  6 Inch Brake System

This is a 6 inch drum brake system for the Model – T Go-Kart with the bushing style rear bearings.  Additionally, the width of the rear bearing mount is 3 inches in width.

Important: Please visit Model T Brake System Identification Page more information about the system you should be ordering.

This brake systems is easy to install and adjust.  The brake system is designed to be a bolt in system, no grinding, no welding.  All that is required is to bolt on the custom brake drum to the existing Model – T Go Kart wheel, mount the brake band retention boss, remove the existing rubbing brake angle bar, replace with custom crank arm, and then insert the custom band link.

After that make a few adjustments and the system is good to go.  Installs in about 20 minutes.

If you would like to purchase the system, be sure to specify which side you want to add the brake system too.

Note: When the drivers side brake is added, it will  lock up the drive axle and stop the engine (if the drive is engaged).  The drive layout for the Model-T gokart has the passenger side wheel free rotating so that the go kart does not require a differential.
