BEC Diff, any reference ?

I'm looking for some reference on how the bec boys deal with the rear dif,

I have always been CEC, but fancy the look of the single seater under development. Is they anywere I can find out more on how they get the power to the rear wheels ?

If you mean for a mid-engined car then search for "chain diff" on Google and/or on here and you'll get lots of pics and info.

If you mean front-engined then you simply buy a prop adapter that lets you bolt the propshaft to the the shaft where the sprocket would go on the bike gearbox. Search "sprocket adapter" or "prop adapter" for pics.

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.

Just make sure you pick an engine with the correct prop rotation or you'll end up with 5 reverse gears and one forward.
