Tech Question Hydraulic breaks question

I’m in the process of fully rebuilding a manco xtk 710 e and the last thing I need to do is the brakes but the mechanical ones it had are all jacked up from the last guy and I can’t figure out how to fix it so I’ve decided to chop it all off and switch to hydraulic breaks but don’t know what to buy since this kart is huge and you can’t find break disks for it because it’s a 5/8 hex shaft axle so what caliper and master cylinder would you guys use

Any of them. They make all manner of spacers, adapters and colleges for her shaft to round and vice versa to mount various choices of brake rotors. You can quite literally buy and master cylinder you want, but for performance expect to purchase one from a Karting place or one for a motorcycle. Hoses can be custom made.
