Yes, that's the plan. Replace the 3.38(?) unit that's in the car at the moment with the longer 3.14 ratio to give more relaxed cruise performance with the 6-speed gearbox.
Phil and Ollie at Road and Race can't help at present, hence my posts to see if there are any 3.14's available on the market.
Thanks chaps - saw both of these on ebay and actually followed up on one, but the lack of provenance is preventing me from going ahead. If I could find one from a Club member I'd be able to buy with some confidence, but £1000 plus is too much to risk on a punt.
Building a bike engined car James? These diffs are like rocking horse poo.
Wouldn't a BEC need a fd ratio from the other end of the spectrum??
Looking for the CSR!
James
No. Most bike engine/'box assemblies have a primary reduction.
'Busa has a 1.596:1 primary reduction, so, even with a 3.14:1 diff, top speed is still limited...
Ah, thanks Richard. The primary reduction explains it.
Anyway, back on topic - anyone got one??
James
James i put one in a 6 speed CSR and it was great, no LSD
at the time it was £800 from .....in kent , just forgotten the name of the Diff gurus

Thanks for pointing them out, though.
