Good question. I think you need to confirm with Jim g exactly what you have got but I can chuck in a few ideas. The Bowman is an old kart but was ' top dog' in its day. What I remember was the rear axle setup with alloy plummer block bearings sat on top of the chassis tubes bolted through from underneath. Pretty sure they used a Kelgate self adjusting brake . Master cylinder with plastic reservoir. Dot 5 fluid only. The Bowman became the LRG sold by Niel Garrison of Zoom karts, and Zoom kart became Wizz kart so you could chase that up. Main thing is you have the top mountings the clamps should be relatively easy either make some up out of 25mm square alloy or fabricate something out of steel channel and angle. Some karts eg OTK tonykart use a wider tube spacing but whether it's anywhere near 150 mm. I don't know. Prokart stuff really goes on the 4 stroke forum.Somebody who knows more might miss it.
