Some questions / new member - Timmäää - 15-11-2020
Hi guys.
I start to build a blown Rosengart LR49 single seater special for road use.
For this project I habe some special ideas and maybe it is possible to build it.
First to my person:
I am 28 years, a German fabricator and coachbuilder, sandplaster and chrome guy. I built several bikes and cars until now. The last project is an blown Alvis 2 seater special.
Now my questions... Please don't laugh or cry...
Is it possible to drive a diff ratio by 1:4,45 with 16 inch wheels?
Did someone build a different gearbox from other cars (or motorcycles?) on the austin engine?
How much weights the engine?
Maybe you have an answer for me without explaining my questions. I'll tell you more soon about my projects
Cheers
Timo
