That would seem a bit odd, and probably not the best.  I could see that acting similarly to a rear bumper with tight bolts.  I think I’d try to spread it a bit, one way or another, so it fits on the bushings easily.

ok cool, just wanted to confirm my suspicions

i got the kart second hand, and the bumper has been modified for whatever reason unknown to me, but there is a weld near one of the ‘posts’, or uprights that connects the hoop to the mount. it was probably shortened, from the looks of it

would it be worth trying to fix, or should i just get a new one? I don’t plan on running plastic FWIW

Just cut it in the middle slip a tube with an ID the same as the OD over it drop a weld and call it good

[Sean Ranchbari]

ok i’ll give it a shot

don’t have a welder, but I do have brazing equipment. this shall suffice, correct?
