037 Recreation

[ProtoTipo]

yes it is, with the shift mechanism on the left side, must be Panthera then?

Now you say Pim, yes.
It is only on the left side on Panteras?
Here is the car above, compared to my photo of the original (the OLIO FIAT livered car in the UK), which has the shift box on the right, as well as some oil take offs etc.

Both expensive!

A GT40 ZF must have the gear shift on the right, as the 037?

[pim]

Yes it did somewhat as the GT40 had the gearbox inverted

[pim]

Must be for a lower point of gravity??

Must be for a lower point of gravity??

Or just so it drove the right way??
Mor forward gears than reverse(s)?
I'm only asking not being smart!

[ProtoTipo]

I'm confused now, because I've read that the Pantera (and 037) are the ones that have the ZF transaxle 'inverted', and that the GT40 is the right way up?
'Seems there's a lot of work to do, (with the 'oiling') if you want to fit a Pantera box the other way up in a GT40 replica?

Renault UN 1 are cheaper and often used on old GT40 replica as my Dax one...Isn’t possible to fit on the engine of your Lancia 037 build?

The Renault option is pretty outdated now and they were never that strong in the first place.
The more acceptable alternative is the Audi 01E or similar from the A4/A6 range. Because they are often TDi derived they can cope with the Torque. What effect this has on the ratios however needs calculating.
There is a company in Devon who do a range of adapter plates to suit although I suspect one for an 037 is not on the list!!
