Gear linkage for rear mounted engines

Post by ManyMiniCoopers »

Hi. Attached are some pictures I took of a rear mounted gearbox setup. Thought they were interesting and wondered if anyone here had some more info. Could it be gtm of unipower related, or just a random one off creation???

had one of these 30+ years ago. maybe still have it? i remember the saw and the 40 grit sanding marks and it weighed a lot. if this part got away from me it didn't go too far.

I have one of those too and also have no idea what it was made for. It was amongst a load of parts that came my way, coincidentally from someone Jay knows very well. Could it once have been yours Jay?
