Hi, i am thinking about fitting bike engine in my car.

Has any one got a reverse gear box for sale?

If so how much and what type is it?

Is there such a thing Kaz? I thought the reverse 'kits' used an electric motor on some kind of lever and a cog sandwiched between the rear UJ of the prop and the diff?

Cant remember the details, but there was a reverse box on ebay a few days ago, might still be there.

Yup there is, quite a few different choices too. But most folk end up junking them, and getting rid completely, or fitting an electric reverse conversion.

westfield make a green one which looks quite good, looks lie it is "straight through" for foreward and a chain for reverse inside a casing with a syncromesh selector type thing. same affair for quaifes, but id be inclined to trust quaife for gearboxes. there is also one called a selcton reverse box, thats all i could find about it as well as a pic. plus there were a couple of others kicking about but cant rember who made em. as far as i know the others could no longer exist but im pretty sure the westfield one does and the quiafe one definately does.

ps- yeah i researched quite a bit when i was starting me project.
