Looks very OEM. I would’ve been tempted to make it a mirror, polishing metal is so satisfying.
I agree, and I used it for all my motorcycles restorations. It’s a safer process than sandblasting (less heat so you can use it on thin parts) and leaves a better finish that doesn’t trap oil, crud and dirt. Perfect for engine blocks
Polished metal usually has a longer fatigue life than unfinished or painted, so naturally we don’t use any anymore.
Is it blasphemous to suggest sticking a 15-degree tilt wedge in that steering hub? You’re darn near bus driver status with that thing 
Yes it is, yes it is…blasphemy…and you know it 
Side view of the original 
That sticker kit is really cool, especially for that era.
Yes looks awesome! It’s on order 
Doesn’t help that back then there were 3 sets of plastics (Arrow, KG, Righetti) all slightly different. Plus the special right pod variant, so adapting the kit to what I can find will be a challenge.
Regardless, I think this livery is probably one of the first to come out as a complete graphic kit as opposed to single stickers everywhere
Andy, can you still buy the old graphics or can you have a shop make reproductions?
These were special graphics for the official team running the world championship, not sure if they were ever widely available. But there is a gentleman out of Australia (Kart Stickers F100, on FB) that has rendered them and sells the exact reproductions, for each variant depending on the year and color of the plastics (the team changed the coloring in 98,99,00 and 01)
'01 version here
Does anybody know what tank that is?
Based on the catalogue, it says 0073.B0 8 liter tank, looks more “pointy” than the new ones. Wondering if there is a cadet version from the modern lineup that may look similar
Looks like a Cadet Kart
Sweet looking kart! I know several people that are now turning them into collectables, including engines alone
Nice find on the diecasts!
