Partially Assembled Pedal Car Chassis

CN Chassis Kit, partially assembled pedal car chassis
 
   Details: Black, powder coated, steel tubing with hard plastic pedals, this partially assembled pedal car kit chassis needs very little to complete. The front and rear axles, bushings, steering mechanism and the pedal push rods with installed pedals are already assembled from the factory. All that's left to do is assemble the pedal push rod hanger / pivot assembly, add a body " PCWKIT ", install the wheels, then mount the steering shaft support bracket to the body and install the chrome steering wheel and shaft.
TIP: Before starting, we suggest you gently snug down all factory installed nuts and bolts to be sure they are tight. Leave pedal push rods tie wrapped to front axle.

The outside of the wheel is also finished in the same dark blue with a painted white wall and a standard center axle bushing.

9 inch standard steel pedal car wheels with rubber tires
 
   Details: 3 each, 9 inch diameter wheels with rubber tires. The inner and outside of each wheel is powder coated dark blue, with painted white walls on the outer surface of the rim.

CHASSIS ASSEMBLY TIPS
      The C&N Reproductions, Pedal Car Chassis Kit is very easy to build and goes together quickly. Most of the chassis kit is pre-assembled and designed to assemble quickly needing just the Pedal Pushrod Hanger, Steering Assembly and  Wheels installed.
      To help make assembly even easier and to see what the kit consisits of, we have provided detailed photos of these assemblies along with a couple of building tips
     This chassis kit is designed for use with C&N Reproductions, Wooden Body Kit for pedal cars, you can also design and build your own custom pedal car body is if you so desire. Important: Study the included assembly drawing closely before and while building the pedal car chassis kit.
General assembly:
       To begin the pedal pushrod hanger assembly is attached to the chassis and the pedal pushrods to the hanger.
       Next before installing the steering mechanism, a pedal car body with a dash or cowling designed to accept the steering shaft support must be attached to the pedal car chassis. Then the steering components can be installed.
       Last Step: After the body is permanently mounted, the wheels can be attached with the included locking cap washers.
