Brake System For Go Kart

This document provides the parts and specifications needed for the brake system of a go kart, including a master cylinder, brake pads, 200mm disk rotor, and brake pipes. It recommends a billet hydraulic master cylinder and billet aluminum brake caliper. Cost estimates are provided for each part totaling around $200. Calculations determine the brake power, stopping distance, braking forces, and normal force on the disk based on the kart's weight, engine specs, and dimensions.
