Re the Shorrocks on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shorrock-Supercharger-/200989395859?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ecbe6cb93Wouldn't surprise me if it went for around the £700 - £900 mark, as it has manifolds, carb and float bowl, boost guage (from a Supermarine Spitfire), blow-off valve and paperwork |

Yep, that's the one. Looks good but who hasn't had their fingers burned by something that looks nice 'n' shiny?  £900.00 eh? Can't help thinking I could pick up an Eaton for less than half that and have money left for machining? |

Mouse is going to put up some pics for me, thanks Mouse. These are the last photo's I took before I decided to change the final drive from a shaft to chain. This meant fitting a bevel box and this meant chopping it in half and adding another 150mm in the wheelbase, don't you just love it when that happens  . Back on track now though, the drive flanges and sprockets are currently away getting machined then, hopefully, it's a case of knocking up a few brackets, a bit of adjustment and, fingers crossed. |

Why the change to a chain?
To run the shaft drive I would have needed a transfer box to move the drive across, then a modded driveshaft with the right size sprockets, I thought the way I've gone with the bevel box would be easier. I'm fairly sure I've done the right thing but all the drive flanges are away getting modded so it's gonna be a case of 'suck-it-and-see', fingers crossed . |

Personally I would have got me a Sunbeam or Ural box and rear wheel, so many folk have fitted reliant motor's into Urals that all the info is out there.. but saying that it's a cool looking sickle sir  |

I hear what you are saying, I've seen at least one Reliabeam in magazine articles. The one thing I really wanted to do though was retain the standard h patern gear change, no real reason, just 'cause! On a similar theme I did see a Sunbeam at a vintage rally fitted with a 2CV engine and box which obviously worked as he completed the rally.

Yukon.
I went over this a few years back when I was looking at doing exactly the same thing. I actually had a VW/Reliant set up, but then got a piggy lump because I could not get my big feet around the VW cylinder heads.
I looked at the frame and did'nt want a long back end to clear a propshaft, so I thought about fitting a sprocket onto the Reliant gearbox flange, and another one the same size on the end of a short drive shaft which just cleared the diameter of the back wheel.
