Default installing an old speedo cable drive on a rear wheel for prop drive


meb Wrote:
Turner, Spicer, and the early Christini AWD systems used the speedo
drives to turn on the front wheel so torque on a small propellor should
work. Althoughm I know Spicer used a slightly lower gear ratio up front
so the front would freewheel unless slipping on a low coefficient
surface. Turner also has a freewheel, so it probably has a lower front
ratio up front. I may be able to pull out my Turner system and see if
fits the rear.

As for reaming, anyone recall if it is necessary to ream out to fit the
rear axle would, it destroy anything critical?


The Turner system uses 1/8 chain at the front end of the cable and a
Dicta freewheel, and the speedo cable is much bigger in diameter and
more robust than a bicycle speedo cable. This cable is fatter than
automobile speedo cables.
