Hopefully be making good headway on mine over the next few weeks so will make a thread to tempt you away from turbos!! Although this engine make 200+hp with a turbo

Could you find us a source of cheap Hewlands then please?  Adaptor plate is 12mm alu, and it would be no problem to make extra pieces at the side. Then I think you would need to bolt a steel bracket onto it to hold the rubber mount. |

To be honest, a modified 2cv gearbox thicker pime axle bearing holder thicker (4x4) bearings at the back a good vaccuum host with oilcatch tank and the nut behind the wheel (who knows what he's doing someone like Pete Sparrow who strokes his car after it did a good job) and it will be fine... however I have also a lna gearbox with callipers already fitted and a axel 1300 5 speed with ventilated disks ( I guess with 9200 rpm it will do 230km/h)...... So 1 of them should do the trick |

lpgo, I don't think it's the bearings you need to worry about in a 2CV gearbox when subjecting one to about 3 times the original design's torque and power. I've got the input shaft here from the BMW engined UK racer which finished 3rd at Spa 24hr a while back. The bearing (*and the input shaft seal which I'd fitted at Snetterton after being awake for over 24 hours*) are still OK, but the sustained high contact pressure on the teeth has scuffed them. ken * Rick also forgot to let me know where the input shaft was destined to be used, otherwise I'd have adjusted the fit to cater for use at over 8,000 rpm... *

If you're going to all the effort of achieving 100bhp+ then make your adaptor plate to fit a ford gearbox and Bedford Rascal/Reliant Rialto/AH Sprite axle. Rear wheel drive would be so much nicer. |

Ken, my experience is just the otherway round.... Primeaxle plate (outside the clutchhousing) is bending all the way. Back bearings are weak, so simple but effective is to change them for a double rowed bearing (it fits perfecty when cutting the upper 3. gear tooth to 20.5mm (out of my mind)... I never experience tooth-wear when tooth are positioned in the way Citroen intended). P.s. a gearbox comming from the Citroen plant, misses up 0.5mm on all gears/or pignon and crown, so always re-messure and re-position them, (especialy when racing with them)... @ Russel, I have never driven a rearwheeldrive car on personal basis; only (selfbuild 4x4) and frontdrive, so first corner and I probably will face the wrong direction.. ken wrote: lpgo, I don't think it's the bearings you need to worry about in a 2CV gearbox when subjecting one to about 3 times the original design's torque and power.
