A chain drive differential based on the Mazda MX5 (Eunos Roadster / Miata) viscous coupled, limited slip differential had been added to the Westgarage Engineering range.
This differential weighs in at around 9.5Kg fully assembled and comes with output shafts to suit Mazda Mk1 bolt on drive shafts.
The MX5 is also a suitable donor vehicle for rear hubs, uprights and brakes for a variety of bike engined vehicles such as trikes, buggies, EVs, kit cars, track cars and single seater race and hillclimb cars.
The Mazda MX5 has been sold worldwide and is the most popular sports car of all time, therefore there should be no shortage donor cars.
A ready to bolt-in unit starts at just £629 (delivered in the UK).

Electric Reverse
23/02/09 13:42 Permalink
Westgarage Engineering have developed an electric reverse mechanism for chain drive differentials.
The system utilises a geared 1HP electric motor and a gear ring attached to the differential.
The reverse motor can mount onto the differential carrier in a variety of positions to suit the installation.
The reverse mechanism is required on bike engined cars running in race series, hillclimbs and sprints.
The 750 Motor Club RGB and Bike Sports series requires that cars are able to reverse for 3 metres and reverse over a 40mm high block with one wheel.
Kit cars undergoing the new IVA test (which replaces the SVA test in 2009) now require a reverse mechanism fitted.
Ideal for the new Haynes road-going, track day, Single Seater kit car!
The Westgarage electric reverse can be fitted to any of our chain drive differentials (Sierra, Mini, Quaife or MX5)
Please contact us for pricing and availability.
