Chain Drive Differentials &
Electric Reverse for Bike Engined Cars
Westgarage
Engineering specialise in manufacturing chain drive differentials
for bike engined vehicles including single seater race cars, sprint
& hillclimb cars, sports cars, FWD & RWD Minis, kit cars,
off-road buggies, quads, trikes and electric vehicles. Both
‘open’ and ‘limited slip’ type
differentials are manufactured.
The range of chain drive differentials includes budget units based
on second-hand differentials
(Honda Civic
TypeR, Ford Sierra, Mazda MX5, Ford Fiesta and
Mini).
Brand new chain drive differentials are also supplied and are based
on aftermarket units by Quaife, WaveTrac, TranX and OBX amongst
others.
Westgarage Engineering chain drive units have been used by several
Formula Student (FSAE) teams in Europe, Asia and the USA.
Custom chain drive units can be supplied for special installations
and options include mounting carriers, inboard brakes, belt drives
and electric reverse systems.
Alloy sprockets, jackshaft assemblies, chains and custom
driveshafts can also be supplied.
Westgarage Engineering can supply you a complete chain drive
differential package or an individual component to build your own
unit.
A requirement for IVA and some MSA competitions is for bike engined
cars to be equiped with an operating reverse system.
To this end, Westgarage Engineering have developed an electric
reverse which uses a geared motor to drive a ring gear mounted
alongside the sprocket on the chain drive
differential.
