Hey, it's made of metal so it's on topic. Anyway, I've been thinking
about a new project (dangerous!), more of a mental exercise really.
Putting together a car powered by a Norton 750 motorcycle engine.
Since it runs great and the bike is wrecked the motor should go into
something. So I have been looking around for a 4 to 6 speed
transmission with reverse that weighs less than 60 pounds. No luck
yet. Crosley transmissions are pretty light I think. But hard to find.
And not cheap. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
A couple.
1) Use the Norton transmission feeding a forward/reverse box.
2) A hydraulic pump and motor with reservoir could be done within 60#.
Hydraulic motors and pumps are not good for this type of application,
I have been told. Is this not true?
