Changing final drive ratios
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2022 8:21 pm
I converted a classic Mini and I'm hoping to get a higher top speed (maybe 20mph more). Tire size is pretty much limited to 21" and I don't think that will cut it. The other option I thought about was maybe using the older 7.938 ratio gearbox, but that doesn't buy me too much, and I'm not sure they're a direct swap. New gearbox and larger tires would be a $1-2k experiment, and it seems like a half-assed solution.
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to go about having gears made, and what that could cost? I don't think there is a demand for anything but a custom one-off gearset...
