Title: Wanted: Low ratio final drive for a Bagheera Post by: andyowl on January 23, 2013, 02:58:58 pm 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!

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 :) David Title: Re: Wanted: Low ratio final drive for a Bagheera Post by: andyowl on January 25, 2013, 06:10:05 pm I didn't know the Horizon had a low geared diff! Thank you.

Andy 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 donīt know witch cars had them. |
