"You can measure this by removing all the upper parts of the chassis (seat, engine, steering brakes, BUMPERS!) and then measuring the frame in four directions. Let's call the kart 'corners' as follows:-"

There is however an easier way than taking all the bits off.

Support your kart above the floor.
Using a plumb bob mark the position of the corners on the floor,.

Then measure the marks as indicated by ITpro.

Ideally you should do this as well as using Itpro's method. The reason is that putting all that gear on the kart can distort the chassis all over again and you can put some real loads on doing up bolts, etc.
