My Official '97 CC DS Build Thread
Hello,
I just purchased a club car DS, serial number A9747.... This will be my official build thread for this cart. It is in pretty bad shape as it sits, and I will continually update this thread as I repair/rebuilt cart. This is my very first cart, and I am sure it will show through some of the dumb questions I ask. There will be MANY questions in this thread as it goes on, so if you like to share your knowledge please please continue to check back and chime in. Also, I am located in the Sacramento CA area, so if any are local, I would be more than happy to meet up and gain any insight possible. I am building on a very tight budget, but think I can make it work, and keep the cart looking nice and running well. hopefully. haha. These are the things I am planning as of now;
I am also going to want to speed it up a little. Am hoping with the 4awg cables, new batteries, and maybe a Plum motor upgrade I can get to 20, maybe 25... The current motor is a club car model no. 58c59jbs 61948, 48v, 3.1 hp. No idea how fast now, as it has no batteries, and old owner says neds microswitches. I am brand new to this hobbie, and do not know anybody, so any/all advice will be appreciated! Also, if you know of any used parts, or good places to look, I would love to hear about it/them. I have no problem posting pics, and even prices paid for things if it is allowed on this site. Thanks in advance for all your help, and I am excited to start my project!!! Hopefully by December, there will be a major transformation. |

Re: My Official '97 CC DS Build Thread
Nice, and thanks for the welcome Steve!!
First question, Are there any "junk yards" for carts in Northern California? I would love to get a roof, mounts, and club rack package for my cart. (Has no roof now) I found the club rack set up for abt $50 shipped, but no roof mounts or roof top included. Anybody think I could find the whole thing for 100 or so? **It does have the 2001+ seats, so would think I need the entire 2001+ package, but not sure... |

Please PM me with the details. Although, I believe that since my cart has the single back rest piece, your rack and roof supports will not work for me. Correct me if I am wrong though, as I know very little about carts! And no worries about turning the thread, that is part of what I made it for. Hoping it will turn out to be a total picture of my journey, help questions to acquiring "pieces". |

Re: My Official '97 CC DS Build Thread
I am, however, shopping around for all the items listed in the origional post, and always like to hear what is out there!!
Question: Is the 4awg upgrade worth it if I am only going to upgrade the motor, and not the controller or solenoid? |

Re: My Official '97 CC DS Build Thread
Nice cart RedRum...( muRdeR )
I bought a 2000.5 ds for a hundred $. Have installed batteries and cleaned it up. The dealer with the batteries gave me a new front end body panel and another dealer gave me a complete body for a $10.00 contribution to there coffee fund. Behind this dealership ( in Canada ) there were a dozen bodies and barrels full of bag holders, baskets,roof supports ect. ,that will go to the dump.You should maybe tour your area and see what is available in the scrap. |
