installing an old speedo cable drive on a rear wheel for prop drive
meb Wrote: Turner, Spicer, and the early Christini AWD systems used the speedo drives to turn on the front wheel so torque on a small propellor should work. Althoughm I know Spicer used a slightly lower gear ratio up front so the front would freewheel unless slipping on a low coefficient surface. Turner also has a freewheel, so it probably has a lower front ratio up front. I may be able to pull out my Turner system and see if fits the rear. As for reaming, anyone recall if it is necessary to ream out to fit the rear axle would, it destroy anything critical? The Turner system uses 1/8 chain at the front end of the cable and a Dicta freewheel, and the speedo cable is much bigger in diameter and more robust than a bicycle speedo cable. This cable is fatter than automobile speedo cables. -- meb |
