Three orders placed with Spellfame inside the first week – that’s planning for you! I ordered:
- Spark plug spanner – £7.50 (the handle is too short for my liking)
- T-Bar socket for wheel nuts – £7.50
- Mechanics gloves – £4.75 (hands still freeze in them)
- Carb cleaner – £3.45
- 3m fuel pipe – £3.45 (fuel pipe on kart was very brown and hard to see where the fuel was so it’s been replaced)
- Pulse pipe – £1.56 (seemed like a good idea to replace the piping but that little wire tie on the engine looks delicate – not yet installed)
- 3x Fuel funnel filters – £2.25
- Fuel tank brass filter – £9.50 (recommended by a friend to help avoid getting dirt in the carb)
- 9v battery – £2.50 (spare Mychron battery, necessary to make up minimum order for free postage!)
Including VAT, Spellfame are £50 better off for my custom. In addition, I have also splashed out on:
- 2m x 2m elasticated cargo net (eBay) – £11.95 (to secure the kart cover when towing)
- 200 plastic cable ties (eBay) – 99p (20% of the price charged by B&Q!)
- Teng Tools 7-piece T-Handle Hex/Allen Key set (eBay) – £29
- Halfords Advanced Professional 9-Piece ratchet spanner set – £39.99
Total spent so far: £2068!!!!!!!!! (£568 over budget – hope the missus isn’t following this blog)
