Can anyone tell me where I can find some replacement padding for the roll bar? The bars are 1.25 inches..

Also, can anyone share any info on the "Big Thunder" go kart... 11 HP Honda two seater BT211E ?

Thanks

Go to home depot or lowes and you can get it. It'll be in the pipe insulation area, or ask someone that works there, that's where I got mine. Think it was like 4' for under 5 bucks.

you can save alot of money by finding your local heating and air distributor. The place where the heat /air contractors go to get material and supplys. They sell this stuff as pipe insulators, comes in 1/2 up to 6"dia. Tell them you want the close cell stuff. Exact same stuff and sells for Pennys on the dollar compared to the advertised "rollbar padding." 10 sectons @ 4'x1,1/4 inner dia sets me back about 8 bucks.
The only problem with any of this type of stuff is it isn't limb proof. running through woods will snag and tear it. I wrap it with black electrical tape to give an outer shell which affords protection against tears and snags. but at the price it's cheap enough to replace on occasion.

The only issue with going to an hvac supply house is there only supposed to sell to licensed hvac contractors. Some follow this and some don't. I happen to be a licensed hvac contractor so this ain't an issue for me. But usually if your nice when you go in to buy simple stuff the will sell it to you.
