Re: Converting to (8) 6 volt batteries
its real sweet having guys like you around who are C.C. techs.........cause you don,t try and rub it in our face that boo hoo but i,m a C.C. tech.............me like old mech i learned everything i know by trial and error and doing it myself with all my little helpers ( service manuals ) thats why i preach to members that if your gonna do your own work the very 1st tool you should buy is the service manual .........they are like the bible to me although i have to use them less and less but i don,t hesitate to grab a manual if i need it or i,m unsure about something..............but having guys like you jumping in and helping out and correcting someone when i,m wrong is still part of the learning curve and its nice to know i have you guys to fall back on when needed without having my nose rubbed in it.............so from me and i,m sure lots of others thanks to you guys who hang out here.....................you all know who you are..........................

Re: Converting to (8) 6 volt batteries
It is quite possible to remove framing and replace it with a pan structure that replaces the structural value. But remember that you are also adding 125 pounds onto the pan.... In my opinion the pan construction & attachment should be more akin to installing a large gusset, If you are avoiding welding so average Joe can install it, then you will need lots of fasteners ..... I dunno, just a thought. (i did not stay at a holiday inn last night)

Re: Converting to (8) 6 volt batteries
Probably not. It couldn't possibly be as strong, and like Scottyb said, you're also adding weight. If you were to somehow run a support structure beneath the new battery compartment and tie it into both sides of that beam it may be sufficient.

Re: Converting to (8) 6 volt batteries
Was talking to someone regarding this cart today and it caused me to think about this thread.... Been running the cart around for the last 3 months (and adding features as I go). So far no issues with the frame twisting or warping in any way.I still have ony 4 bolts holding the battery rack in place (2 up front and 2 where I cut the cross member out). Being the super bright idiot that I am, I recently installed a set of 13 inch car rims and low profile tires.... big mistake. first I tried the Jake's offset kit for the front end to allow proper clearence for the larger tires and that failed miserably since I still rub the tires against the cowl on a hard turn. Then I quickly learned that with stock springs, the rear body now sits about an inch above the tires and when I add my weight to it.... it's ON the rear tires. Gonna try a 3 inch Jakes lift on the cart next with HD rear springs.... The only problem I forsee is that the installation of the Jake's offset kit caused me to cut and grind off the stock shock mounts on the Delta A-Arms.... Has anyone ever tried installing the lift on a cart that aleady has the offset plate?

Re: Converting to (8) 6 volt batteries
I have installed a 2" extension plate on a stock suspensioned cart with no problems.
I have installed a 2"offset plate with a brand x 6" spindle lift. It seemed to work just fine. except for the shock mounts Why did you have to cut the shock bolts off? I had to do that to one of my kits as when the brand x turned its design caused it to hit that bolt and not allow full travel in the one direction. My fix for that was to make 2 trapezoid shaped tabs for the shock and weld them on top of the delta plate. no pictures of that though. I have a couple pics of it without shocks and before the mounting bolts were cut off if that would help. I do not know if mine was a jakes though. I think i ordered it from big buggies -Aaron |
