Thanx for the pic's
I'm not aware of any bolt on suspension parts for your kart/buggy(other than hydraulic shocks). I wasn't aware that you didn't weld-That's really a required skill to do even the smallest modification. To have double A-arms there will be welding!!! regardless of the arms you use. Just to add another type power plant(your original plan) there will be a good amount of welding needed.Does this change your game plan?
FYI- Shock travel is a preference on your part- just to have a fairly smooth/ good handling kart/buggy even on a basically smooth dirt road you need about 4" of suspension, unless you can take a beating!! Your kart/buggy was a much smoother riding one in comparison to other yard karts built at the time, but is still pretty rough with the stock shocks.
