I have this Mercury Messenger just about done, did a test drive and found out the rear end ratio is way to low. 2.53to 1 , This car has no trans, no place to put one. Its direct drive
I find out that the rear end Diff and carrier with axles are all Jaguar X-type, The bad thing is that Jag only made the X-type with one gear ratio, 2.53 to 1 . I did a tooth count . Finally I found a BMW SUV that the front diff is about the same size, (smaller) but the axles are bolt to gear, the Jag is slip in spline to gear. Now I have to make mounts, modify the BMW axles to adapt to the Jag axles . The Fun never ends . The test drive was like being in a buck board LOL , No springs in this car, it was for show only, so the owner will put air bags in it when it gets back to Chicago -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
