Blackbird Electric Reverse

Recommended Posts

Calling fellow Birdmen!

I am considering removing the Nova reverse box in an attempt to reduce the transmission harshness for normal road driving. The idea is to fit a Bailey Morris 2 piece TRT prop, and some sort of electric reverse. I looked at the stuff advertised by KitCarDirect - a starter motor and a sprocket that sandwiches between the diff nose and the prop UJ. Looks to me like there isn't room to mount this in the Caterham chassis. Can anyone who has a 'bird with electric reverse let me know how/where it is fitted and what parts are used? Pictures would be very welcome. Thanks!

My electric reverse is between the engine and prop.  I do have a spare set that I'd like to keep but you are more than welcome to borrow it to replicate the install. Any good engineering firm should be able to make the bits required.  Mine uses the Nova Racing adapter with BMW donut.
