Cougar pinion/spurs...

[simoncrabb]

The manual says one should be able to mesh a 25 with an 83...

I presume the kit spur is an 83?

The biggest pinion I can get to mesh is a 23!

Why?

[Smartalec]

Did you run the Cougar today Simon?

manual dosant say you can run a 83 with a 25 pinion it just gives you a gear ratio for that combo,
and your right 23 is the biggest you can run propperly on a 83 spur witch is kit std

What is the internal ratio of the cougar sv?

Yeah it does, it says maximum tooth sum is 108, ie 83+25.

But that's what I want to know, if 23 is the maximum others have found you can fit. Hmm, though these setup sheets from Tom & Simon suggest they've run a 24 with an 83.

Aaaanyway, looks like I'll have to get smaller spurs to get a ratio for that particular motor.

Alec: I managed a couple of dry runs with it this morning at TORCH, and it's a blummin' lovely car. Mid-motor suits my driving style a lot better than rear motor.

u can squeeze in a 24 but it is a squeeze,

2.6.

2.4 and 2.8 optional.

I spoke to Tom last night and we not be running 83 spurs. I was given a first batch of prototype ones with no numbers on, so I assumed it was an 83. It looks more likely we are on 81, as i can make a 25 fit if needed and i do run a 24.

I'll have to go to an 80 I think in order to get the FDR I need for my SP V3 8.5

[Cockerill]

As Si said, we're not on 83's, but 81's (I've just counted mine). I dunno why I thought it was 83 but that's what's on all the setup sheets, should actually be 81.

[simoncrabb]

Phew, mystery solved! Cheers MossCock!

[phil c]

So what size spur comes with the kit and why does it not say on it ? Or would that be to easy ???

[niggs98]

83 comes with the kit

[Cockerill]

83 and it does

The pre-productions weren't marked, hence why I got it wrong

[phil c]

I got my car yesterday at bury and it does not say on the spur what size it is

[Michiel H.]

i need smaller then 80T, can i fit one from an other brand?

Hmm I thought they had it engraved on it where the slipper pad fits, I could be wrong though

[phil c]

Nope deff not there tom

[mikeyscott]

Yup I didn't seem them on two kits.

I'll be fitting my 80 RW spur.

Think Neil will be doing some 79 a& 78 spurs - I'm happy with mine, but had a few people mention that they want smaller spurs
