Wanted:
A Simca/Dodge/Talbot gearbox & differential with a lower final drive ratio than the standard Bagheera design.
I need better acceleration for the Sprints and Hill Climb events we do and do not need high top speed!
Commercial vehicles would be a suitable source. Advice is very welcome as always!

Hi Andy
Not sure what happened to my old Bagheera as it was on ebay looking very sad about 2-3 years ago by someone in Preston. I suspect it was broken for spares.
The reg number was LUD15S and I had fitted a 1.6 Solara engine and a low geared diff from a 1.3 Horizon.
Someone out there somewhere might still have the gearbox....
Might be easier to find than a Horizon 1.3 :)

I didn't know the Horizon had a low geared diff! Thank you.
Andy
I should have a list of final drive ratios somewhere....... but it has been a while and I have a very large loft!

The Horizon 1118cc had a 3.94:1 diff pinion/crownwheel 16/63 with no markings.
Peugeot lists diffs with one ring pinion/crownwhweel markings - 16/65 witch makes 4.06:1 ratio.
I don´t know witch cars had them.
