I'm sure that someone will know but I had a feeling that the T9 Ford box had a seperate bellhousing, possibly with a carrier bearing. Downside is no reverse and needing to hold the clutch in all the time the engines running and you don't want to be (no neutral) I guess that that could be overcome with a hydraulic system and line lock and a great deal of faith. An inhibitor switch on the starter circuit would also be a fairly good idea.

Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: BikerGran on October 17, 2007, 10:34:24 PM Advert says it's road legal but it's not - not if the V5 says Robin reliant cos it's Ford engine.
£500 starting price? I should coco. Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: brock on October 17, 2007, 10:52:52 PM I was going to mention that and then went back for another look and now I can say, there's not a Reliant bit on it.

Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: lunatic on October 18, 2007, 11:14:26 AM Im going to build a rover v8 direct drive trike one day soon (ish). ;D Wasnt sure it would work, but Desperate says it would and thats good enough for me!
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: trikerpete on October 18, 2007, 11:30:07 AM could a small "high/nuetral/low" box be fitted ??? think they are quite compact
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: Manky Monkey on October 18, 2007, 11:32:00 AM Nothing wrong with the basic idea -though personally I wouldn't fancy riding it in heavy traffic with just a clutch pedal to control it's momentum -it's the build quality of that Ebay one that concerns me. Not sure it'd make it to the end of the garden & back, let alone out on the open road. Not being legally registered, it'd need a complete rebuild to comply with MSVA regs. A challenging project but not one I'd want to undertake.
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 18, 2007, 11:58:26 AM and 500 notes to boot...better off getting Daves stuff :)
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: Manky Monkey on October 18, 2007, 12:08:30 PM Yeah, you could do a lot with 500 quid.
Buy 1000 WagonWheels for example. :P Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 18, 2007, 12:41:34 PM well he could get 600 as Daves stuff is around 200 notes :)
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: Manky Monkey on October 18, 2007, 01:38:24 PM A heap of Reliant parts & 600 Wagon Wheels -that'd keep me busy for a couple of days.
Title: Re: Take a look at this Post by: Hillbilly Deluxe on October 18, 2007, 02:09:16 PM or 1500 packs of jammy dodgers ;D
